Bandage My Suspicions

my words are mummified by his release

cream pied insides / i stew

with scents of strangers on his nape /

trapped in a sarcophagi, my bandaged suspicions...

 

like post-its throughout / the finger-printed day

clues are left here and there

they say / nothing, but mean everything

worried yellow whispers turning me / insane.

 

i become removed from our daily cheer

a raven on the books, a stare in space / evermore

dispising my own worst enemy / myself / unsure of my security;

my future now like butterflies in a twister, never more...

 

who & where & why & when

my phone calls multiply, begin to get ignored

your spare times noted / a queasy heart, a heavy stomach

how would Sherlock solve / you, so impressive

 

the mystery / is only in my head, he says,

should i or would i or could i / even progress / to beg

if it means the utter end of all my things

i say nothing but mean everything

 

as i rip away the water-proof band-aid

the pain / for an instant / stings...

i scream inside my head, and my heart stops for dead

i say nothing and mean everything...

walking away! leaving you... I heal. Saying nothing / Meaning everything

This is an older piece, feels like high school ... I kinda want to edit, rewrite, but not inspired right now... Replaced with Sunday morning... Thanks for review, always appreciated Sami...

What an intriguing poem. Love some of the imagery you have placed here. A raven on the books is my favorite. The last line says so much without saying anything. How many times have people done just the same thing when they should have spoken out. I have been there myself. Excellent piece. Kudos.
