Shattered
these marks upon my body
the pain which marrs my breasts
will remain far past your whispered words
the feel of your caress
and if i come on too strong
just say the word,
i'll fall
back into my wayward ways
which seem to hold me well
this numbness deep inside me
may extend beyond tonight
and heal before the distant ache
you left between my thighs
this coldness will be warmed
this weariness dissolved
and i'll wake again,
the same,
shattered person from within.
