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.

Release Me
Release me from your grip
On my spine
Where my bones are
Wavering under your strength
Your pressure
And trembling
From fear of being crushed.
On my shoulders
Where your hands have created
Sagging valleys
Filled with exhaustion
From the weight
You made them bare.
On my throat
Where a gasp escapes
From the despair-filled dwellings
Of my being.
Where your hands- enclosed
Force my last ragged breaths
And my hope
That drains.
