Inwardly Unraveling

A dismal saturation of thought
Seeps through the fibers
~Of Me~
The poignancy like acid--
Searing deep
As the pain you long ago
Inflicted on this weary spirit.

Tiny whisps of memory
Sting my shivered skin
~Everyday~
Reminding me
Of the humiliation,
The degradation
Forced down upon me.

My edges are frayed
By the secrets that inwardly
~Unravel~
The darkest hollows
Of my soul...

And I wonder if I could simply
~Reach out~
And find someone
To wind these loose threads
Back into
The breathing tapestry
Of me.
