Description It’s been hours
My brain has stopped
Time is lost

Muscles frozen
Skin a reddish brown
Liquid long since dried

I’ve been here
Sitting in my corner
For far too long

I want desperately
To break
These chains that bind

Stretch my leg
A series of crackling
I’ve disrupted the silence

Dried blood sheds
Falls to the ground
Like losing a second skin

Feel the muscle flex
Scabs rip open slightly
Bit of blood breaks free

Hobble to cleanse
An attempt for normal
A new wave of pain

Warm water pounds against
Makes each cut
Cry in painful agony

Hand runs gently over
Welts turn brighter
Your sin goes down the drain

Hide the shame
Nothing left
Pretend it’s gone

Pretend that it’s the last

Again Taryn,

Excellent writing. Wish I could just hug away the scars and lonliness.

The loss of scab prematurely is a great metaphor

I hate when scabs from large cuts fall off or break open and you start bleeding again.
