Left Behind

Topic:
ambiguous

Dragged my fingers across rough surfaces
Bleeding into cracks of history
I thought I left behind
Dusting off derelict ideas
No longer mine or yours
To fumble through the night
We hold our breath in each other’s company
Hoping not to offend
Start another war we cannot win
Heaven help the dead left behind
My tears dry on my cheeks
Streaks of black mascara run
Rivers of muddy deceit
I am no longer young
But not old enough to die
Quietly in my sleep
You watch me come and go
Yearning for answers
I withhold
It is my only weapon
Bayonet against your throat
While your jealous gun pokes between my ribs
We pretend to smile
Imagine we can get through this
Life unscathed
If we act the part

| Merry, your words always have a way of making me shiver, for I can usually totally relate to the situation ... this one no less ... "life unscathed if we act the part" ... seems like I've been acting for so many years I forget what real life is like ... awesome write ... Jan |

Such sadness and despair here, and so much more. You have captured that wary dance that is the aftermath of trauma. Do you ever write a bad thing? I doubt it. I love the way you put words together.

Since my first read of your work I was struck by your power. Each one since has been just as strong. This once again tells the sad story of life in a way only you can.
Very well done
