Underneath Stitches Are Scars

Underneath Stitches Are Scars

A Poem by KATHY SUE SILLS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stitches blanket a torn body

A tapestry of wounds inflicted by life

Each illustrates a story of suffering

Crimson blood pools in inflamation

 

Lying words  of love

Never spoken in truth

Heart needs mainteance

Repair is nonexistence

 

Deception of beauty resonates inside

a cinderella's mind

Mirror mirror on the wall

Whose the prettiest one of all

Mimicks a dying soul

Crown of self respect tarnish,

falls like blacken ashes

 

Abuse covers her in blue

Tempestuous hands

Smoldering anger

Cuts to the core

She is broken, bleeding and alone

 

Betrayal of FAMILY, FRIENDS, the WORLD

Traps her in a web of repugnance

Looks upon her as nonentity

A person that should never have been born

 

Her heart is opened

A sign want you be mine visible

to all that will read

Stitches embroidery her exterior

Underneath scars that band her from healing

This is very sad. "Lying words of love, Never spoken in truth, Heart needs maintenance, repair in nonexistence."
"Abuse covers her in blue"~sad that abuse has to ever be endured, and hopefully the victim can find strength to heal.

Extraordinary poem. The scars that can't be seen are often the ones hardest to heal from. Scars on the outside are the hardest ones for others to get past to the hurting person within.

Just your title is brilliant, filling the mind with the image.. the powerful metaphor... There are signs of darkness that fill our world, and this makes me ever so much more watchful.
