SACRED WOUNDING

by Samantha - Scorpio

I stand alone within these padded walls
In which I have come to call home
Bleeding my tears
My forbidden joys of mercy and confusion
I scream out my heart
My soul
My savior
Screaming the wrath of a damsel in distress
And yet there is no white knight to rescue me
To take me from this hell that has become my life
And allow me freedom from these chains
I fight
I hide
I freak
Out on all who dare try to ease me comfort
Give me sympathy for all that I have lost
For they can never understand
Will never understand
What you have meant to me
They can do what they want to me
Put me on pills
Seek mental help
They can take what they want of me
My life
My innocence
But they can never take my love
My memories of you
Or burn shut my wounds
For I will continue to bleed these wretched tears
And the scars will remain upon these lips
These eyes
This heart
Of the sadness I have lived within your death.
