Dear Capricorn

Dear Capricorn

A Poem by Neville

Dear Capricorn

The remnants of a childhood 

 defile and decorate

The lonely space between

Her ribs and shoulder blade

Like old reptile skins or silk brocade

 

The much abused and perfect wound

Cries out for solitude

Dear Capricorn

I only want to rest my head upon

Your silver anklet chain again

This is hauntingly beautiful, and unsettling. The wounded heart that seeks solitude may tend to reject love and companionship, in and effort to conceal the scars that do not truly fade, from the flesh, or from the spirit. Your yearning for so slight a mark of affection and physical solace, in the final line, wrenched at my heart. Thank you.

Scars of child abuse never truly disappear. They may be physical or emotional, but they remain...haunting the victim. For a friend to understand and to care means a lot to the victim. This write shows so much compassion. Lovely. Lydi**
