Modern mummy

 

 

Bandaged anywhere from the neck down,

Wrists and fingers and legs.

Walking around like Egyptians

Yeah, I know best, so now what?

 

Putting it all on display,

Maybe something new will arise,

But who will show up when you look like that,

Like a 21^st century mummy.

 

Your insides were “torn out”

By another “human being”,

So now you walk around ashamed to say,

You loved the one who made you this way.

Laura I love the comparison of a mummy to someone hurt by love cause you feel so hollow like a mummy is and so wrapped up in hurt you can't move... awesome work.
