Anguish

“If you keep scratching a wound, it won’t heal!”
  Spanning the animus
  Puncturing the innermost bones
  Healing comes from inside you,
  Not from what I say or do to you.

“I have anguish in my heart!”
Screamed a distressful agony
Punched even the thinnest veins
You think you're the only one?
I had it worst, if you only knew.

“Nothing to talk about anymore!”
 A  horrible nightmare
 Say it out loud, one more freakin’ time!
 Edgar Allan Poe once said,
 “Tell me all the  terrible things you did,
  and let me love you anyway.”

From nowhere…
Marred soul covered with harrowing tears
Dazzling smiles yielded with towering hopelessness
Such divine voice I will no longer clearly hear
Yet, the erratic thoughts of you are kept in my tottering senses.
