Unrelenting Scars

Unrelenting Scars

A Poem by Poetic Beauty
"

poem

"

Each word, burns

Like a hornet’s sting

Until the nerves

Are completely numb

 

Each argument, slashes

Like a Samara’s sword

Penetrating deep

Into muscle

Causing the pulsing

To stop

 

Each Incident, crushes

Like a mountain’s demise

The soul smothered

Vibrancy begins to cease

Fading into grey

 

Each searing moment

Brands as a whole

Leaving raised scares

In its unrelenting wake

Emotions begin to shift

Shaking, unstoppable quakes.

Featured Review

Acute and eloquent depiction of emotional pain. 4th line from the bottom, I believe you mean "scars," tho' I kinda like "scares" ;-).

"Each Incident, crushes/Like a mountain's demise" captures the weight of emotional investment gone sour. Interpersonal love is an art, and unfortunately, one which all too few take seriously as art, whether it's the typical emotional illiteracy of the male of the species, or the vulnerability of the female of the species expecting water from a stone.

We do become wise with courage, persistence, insight, and openness. May the "Unrelenting Scars" heal to abiding Love embracing all Life.

Very visceral, made me feel in a base kind of way. Less an intellectual feeling and more of a emotional thing. It's good, very good work. Surprised I missed this one.

Thank you. I'm glad you could feel this rather than think it.

Feeling is believing, thinking is understanding. I think it was my cat who said that to me.

We all have those arguments in a relationship from time to time. This was my way of venting.
To say I 'felt' this one would be an understatement. Those searing moments do tend to brand us for a lifetime, and continue to fester, some scars never heal...

Thank you.
My sweet beauty. I feel and know the pain, this pain... Your pain floods my eyes. But head up beautiful girl for the scars surely show how far you have come, and with the fresh wounds comes the fuel to set your defenses in motion... Use it to rise sweet Angel!
I am always here.... Even in my absences, I come back. Stronger and ready to fight the demons along side you.

I understand this poem. We do create scars. Reminders of good and bad days. I could feel the struggle and the thoughts in your words. I like the way you ended the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Sometimes those we love the most hurt us without even knowing it cause are more vulnerable to them.
