Jagged Torn

Jagged Torn

A Poem by Elisabeth Bowles

 

Jagged torn.

These walls won't come down

The gate only opened for her

Locked her in but she pounded and screamed to get out

But you tapped away with a small hammer

My tears turning the searing passion to icicles

You opened me up and drank in the beauty I have yet to find

Freezing my cold heart to an unbreakable stone

No seams to mend the same wounds opening day after day

Never learning from the same lessons always running into the same walls

The last effort for escape before the water pours into my lungs

Freezing the blood running through the veins

Leading to the dungeon that encircles my heart

The beauty erased by the scars, open and festering in the salt of the tears

The tears never ending, only to nourish the thirst of the unknowing soul

Stopping the tears will heal these scars

The entrancing sleep heals the soul

The soul falls to the ground and humbly begs for forgiveness

I'm slipping so deep inside myself, opening my soul to allow someone to enter

Take control put the feelings deeper down

To pound the pain deeper into my soul

To blind the passion to bind the energy

To keep the soul pure, the pain unending

Understanding the pain, teaches you to love the pain, to covet the pain

Knowing only that it will be the comfort

The pain making you realize you're still alive

Not to make me crazy anymore

Just to find the true me

Make her love you make her see

Seal the beauty, banish the pain

Release the hate and oppression, embrace the serene
