I can taste it now.

The bloodless copper
Of your not listening
Or even pretending to.

Split lipped
From the ignoring blows
I can only swallow
And fight rising bile
Threatening to gag
My lips to silence.

Knowing the scars
Will long be tender
catching ragged edges
of everyday to remind me

I can taste it.

Strong poem C. So strong it permeates the senses. Hoping something more palatable and desired will soothe. So glad to have you here again.

Sincerely,
Regina
