SeveredA Poem by StephanieI'm not talking about literal cuts and gashes... How it feels when a body is severed from itself, from the person.Scattered, lost, disconnected Go through the motions Without being there… Her mind reasons logically, the way it always has. It tries to reason with her frantic heart that beats quietly backwards within her chest. Everything is upside down, inside out, flipped, rotated, wrong. How did a harmless something in the dark create a world of everything in her heart? A world that changes with every footfall- Everything, nothing, everything, nothing…
How did she make such a gross misjudgment? A boundary line crossed, A body shut down… It only took a moment: A moment frozen in memory, Lost in time. She tightens her grip on blame each time he tries to steal it away. Every reminder is a stitch, every minute a
numbing bliss. Time will tape her heart back into place, her thoughts
into coherence, her tears
back into their internal reservoir. It’ll be okay. It’ll be okay.
