A barbed wire fence straddles the divide,
so sharp a reminder of the barrier between
us.
This arid wasteland,
ripped in two,
a gaping wound
through
me.
My tears fall onto parched dirt
and my skin tears on savage thorns.
Aching wounds bleed when you look away
and I die inside.
The flower wilts
until only a shrivelled husk remains.
Light fades as night claims me,
the incessant cold a reminder
that I deserve all this,
and more.

Nirvanadragonesalmost 17 years agoall of your poetry, but this one in particular touches me deeply.
Very moving, and very raw, real. The pain is visible, as are the feelings you express.
Painfully beautiful. Thank you for writing it.
