Visceral

the word visceral

is very real to me

from old memories

and marks left over

burned physically into me

     the things I cannot forget

       (we remember better this way)

from what did harm us

   but did not kill us

saving the best parts of us

 

surviving tragedy

 with scar tissue -

        these are the best people to me...

the word is visceral

   and it can only be felt

Sometimes the visceral memories are the only ones we can hold onto. Leaving such undeniable impressions they are impossible to deny- despite our wishes sometimes.

You've got a great power in your words.

These were my favorites:
"from what did harm us
but did not kill us
