Fragment (Inspired by Sonia Sanchez)
i wonder if this heart quenching scar will ever go away
it lingers with a smile of yours caught in my throat
stabbing with red tears
staining with black fears
i want to scream out those lies
those falsities you made-believe as reality
i want to vomit your indecency and swallow back my decency
i want to vomit my innocence and swallow your crucifixion
eat and drink those days before your existence
to nourish my puny fingertips
losing its grasp
on me
i want to erase you from my emotional memory
even if my brain forges to forget this pained shame
the sonogram still depicts this blamed infection
constantly mutating its form
but always leaving me alone
hovering with grayness clouding
saving a trace I can never efface
it will always remember
this heart wrenching scar will always remember
