Diminished

Time has progressed

But no wounds have healed

The pain that was hidden

Comes with a vengeance

Twisting needles in your spine

Twisting

And twisting

While you wither away

And slowly disintegrate

Until finally

You no longer

Exist.

One thought on “Diminished

  1. Just stopping by to thank you for your like on Shift Key. It is odd isn’t it? The poem about such great pain has no comments. But I am here. I know pain; visit my blogs that talk about my taking “mending the soul”, e.g., mendingthesoul.org. It took such effort, that I took a blog break from Nov to now. It is never too early or late – I’m proof, as old as I am – the healing continues. (Sorry, didn’t mean to get so wordy in a comment.) Enjoying your work very much. Thanks.
