Break My Bones---a Poem by estrella(f): 1:52pm On Feb 24, 2010 |
Your words are a scalpel; Sshhh, don’t speak! The sound of your silence Is like a slice of heaven to me. Your words are a scalpel Small and sharp, You peel me back Layer By quivering layer: Sinews and bones Exposed to the flaying wind Flaps of me fly away As I watch in fascinated horror: Your words are a scalpel Slitting away my armour Sticks and bones may hurt me But your words damn near kill me! Your words are a scalpel Letting out spurts of blood I bleed within, I bleed without My lifeline is ebbing away no doubt Your words are a scalpel And you are a surgeon You give me a surgery I know I do not need Sshhh, don’t speak! The sound of your silence Is like a slice of heaven to me; The sound of your silence Is a slice of heaven to me |

Gripping imagery makes this poem very dramatic and thought-provoking. |
