Tag Archive: abuse


My arm is bruised
“my gosh are you abused”
No, not anymore.
~
“But you have a black eye!”
yup and it is a silly reason
as to why,
so stop looking at me with dread!
~
Everything is in your head
~
“But…”
No just stop!
I mean it! I wouldn’t lie to you!
You were not there when it WAS true
~
Now i am just sick
Put down that phone!
I mean it!
“well I think your laying it on
a little thick. Sick? humph!”
~
I remember the times
I had to hide
behind my hair
or under the stair
but that was a long time ago
~
It was someone else
I had to fear
not him, do I make myself clear?
~
You need to know this
and I am sorry but it’s true
My heart is bad now
and there is nothing
anyone can do.
~
Do not be afraid for me
because I am finally happy
and I am used to bruises now
that appear if I shed a tear.
~
“But what about him?
He is so big! I am afraid of him!”
Oh silly, he is big this is true
but he can carry me
when I fall without a first clue
~
He is big enough to hold me
in arms that won’t let go
when my body tries to fail me
and when I walk real slow.
~
I know I look okay
in fact I do look good
but trust me dear
it’s a facade
a falsehood.
~
So do not be afraid
of the marks you see on me
all is well in Mialand
so please let it be.

Softness: a poem

image

(my ex has reentered my life so this poem has helped me cope with my nightmares)

Soft feet,
Soft breath,
Softness in the way
We met.

Soft sigh
Soft skin,
Do you remember when?

Loud words,
Loud voice,
Loud slamming
Against the walls

Soft cry
Huddled on the floor
Soft feet
Soft breath,
Softness, in the heartbeat.
Soft words,
In the plea,
Do you forgive me?
Of course I do,
I reply,
Softly,
As I sigh.

ML.

Blessed be my friends
