Don't Worry, Isabelle

Let's just say I cried while writing this. Please, please, please read this. Please.

Walls as thin as veneer

within these hollows I am here

shades of gray coat the sky

stars reorganized

ivory skin once

now black and blue

I take your fingers

and show you through

please don't cry,

He hurts you not longer

he's just a shrill memory

a cold, vacant haunter. 

He comes not for your blood

but for your inner life

Don't let him disrupt you, 

and fill your days with strife

my dearest,

these scars will fade.

No, I know the memories won't,

but keep up the facade

no, honey, stay here

you may feel homesick

just give me your hand

and I'll hold it. 

I know it's a hard thing to live through

yes, it's okay to cry. 

he won't come for you again. 

I'll stay by your side.

Don't worry, Isabelle

I'll fight him off.

I swear these nightmares

will someday stop

please don't cry,

He hurts you not longer

he's just a shrill memory

a cold, vacant haunter. 

He comes not for your blood

but for your inner life

Don't let him disrupt you, 

and fill your days with strife

Author's Note

Don't worry, Isabelle. He won't hurt you anymore

Brilliant, that first stanza is amazing, the ability to put feelings into words is harder then most people credit, but you 100% did it. This poem came across as simple but a half an hour later and I'm still re-reading/thinking about it. just. plain. brilliant.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! Really, thank you!

a simple sweet sentiment, perhaps this message shall be heard, not simply blown with the wind.

wow i read this on an instinct because hugo reviewed it and i am glad i did! it really touches the heart and the emotions. i found yet another wonderful writer here behind these heartfelt words.

Very good flow... Feels really emotional... like old, hardened emotions, fighting their way out... the way its written definitely displays the emotions behind this... :/ I wish I could say something else... but nice write.

:"( Abusive relationship probably
I'm so sorry.. I think this is the same Isabelle you met because your parents worked in the same office..? I'm not too sure though..
Really difficult for me to read thIs. It's very dark in away :L
Good write though

Isabelle is basically a character I made up. Isabelle is every girl who's ever been in an abusive relationship.
But thank you very much, as always :)
