Nostalgia For What Was Lost

Summary:

Trauma poetry because I felt like it.

Notes:

Heed the tags please and thank you

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

my skin cells die

every twenty-seven days, 

but I still can’t shed

the feeling of your hands.

 

i’m five or six

and hell is a dog cage,

behind the old storage shed,

with hay on the floor.

 

i’m fourteen

and hell is a bathroom,

near the stairwell down the hall,

with broken metal doors.

 

my body is new,

but it is no longer my own;

skin rubbed raw

as I try to wash you away.
