Premium Member The Wound
The wound is fresh The pain so raw Seems like it will never heal As I cling to the thought Of what might have been As healing starts Panic replaces pain Scrambling to pick the scab To feel the blood flow The wound is fresh again It keeps trying to heal But I'm afraid to forget To let go of the hurt I need it...

Picking at Scabs - Apr 9
—it’s the black boil on bursting, boiling ribs— on my midleft chest, brewing bungled churns, [tighteningmybreath], again, again, it yearns, it begs*, “just one (just two) more (well-earned) rub(s)!” —giving in, it’s just picking at the scabs— first brief relief( ):the itch at once returns as soon’s the finger’s left the welt; it burns and gnaws...

Pedestal
3/2/35 03:19 I glorify men Placing them high on a pedestal Where my father fell short The bar is in hell And the bare minimum are the crumbs I live off Satiated from nothing and empty promises An illusion of fullness As I see myself in half As I saw myself in half As I stand here with a...

Wound
How many heartbreaking wounds, Though it may not be visible on the outside. one day the wound should be opened, Otherwise, the pus all over the body will spread. The “orphanage” is what the pus implies, It silently torments my heart within. Seeing the children with smiles in their eyes, ...

The wound through which God sees Himself
I do not understand infinity, but I feel it flowing through me, like a river that asks no questions, only carves the banks of my being, slowly, until there is nothing left of me. I write not to explain, but to gather fragments of silence I cannot hold in my hands. Each word is a crack through which God tries to see Himself, but all...

My Primordial Wound
Taken away at birth... Damaged to human touch... So I don't like to feel much... Me and my primordial wound. I have a hole in my chest... one that food, sex and drugs cannot sate... so please don't embrace me unless you can relate... to me and my primordial wound! You say you don't see color... but to you I'm still just another... and you...

Please do not open my wound, I already kept it open for a while
I might raise both of my eyebrows. Even though I just walked away after comments others make. We crash on each other yet again, I mean, since when have we not? But asking, if something is going on between our too, just left me ashamed with full of regrets, that I even started. Started knowing how the blood would...

wound
There are wounds that never heal, so you unsee them, like stubborn soot in a chimney. The harder you rub, the more you expose a new layer to set in, so you pretend it never happened. ...
