have you
worn my flesh out into the world
felt the blood
flush through my veins
have you held my past
in battered hands
moved my limbs
through quicksand
knowing you can’t run fast
through insane
have you
touched the color of my years
washed them away
with battered tears
have you
slept under pages of poetry
found no warmth
in clattering sympathy
rinsed out pain
from your heart
wringing the tattered rags
dripping dry
ripping as you cry
wondering the
same word “why”
has it been long enough
that you believe
life is one giant lie
have you
lived inside my skin
felt the suffocation
have you
known my road
met its every rock
have you memorized,
detailed into engraving
my memories
have you
sat in corners
melting back and forth
against the wall
in melodic self talk
have you
lived through me
looked into my eyes
in mirror reflection
accepted the unacceptable
rejected the rejection
have you
known me
by being me
or have you seen me only
from your view judgmental
there were days that came before you when I had nothing with which to paint a picture of hope on my wall
If you never touch me, I will still know how beautiful it feels when all judgment takes a fall
There is nothing more beautiful than when your acceptance embraces my soul..
I will always remember the way your helping me to paint my picture back together...whole.
liebe,
me
