What is this dependency on me?
Dependency on you?
Look at what you've done to me.
No numbing agents to deflect what pain
Pierced my heart like needles to the flesh.
You claim to be around,
But you're neither here nor there.
A punctured mind was left behind,
Fraught with shades of blues and purples
Like berries in the green fields.
You are blissfully unaware of your status;
The God to my wounds.
You medicate them,
Sew up the reaps of pain softly,
Yet return to pull the strings.
No harmful intentions,
Nor apologies mentioned.
The missing strand in my genetic makeup,
You are the disease,
The disorder I carry
Void of antibiotics.
This permanence is the only reality
In your sick game of repair and destroy.
Strong, maybe unrealistic
Hopes for healing dwell in me.
But there will forevermore be a constant reminder;
A lingering scar.
Loved the usage of references to pain, disease and God. I find that memories only entertain us and the painful ones are worth forgetting. I believe there is an error in the line "In your sick game or repair and destroy", "or" should be replaced with "of".
