Roses' very moving "...another kind of hurt" inspired me to dig this one out of my archives

RESIDUE

Broken tooth
From fist once loved
Scars in unseen ways.

Trust betrayed
Inflicted harm
Lost in emotions maze

Respect denied
Flows both ways
Diminishing esteem.

Sadness seeps
To aching marrow
Laughs a far off dream

Soul deep anger
Smoulders darkly
Sustaining life long pain.

Time groans on
Fades memory
Deep wounds, though,
Still remain.

Powerful piece, Lloyd!!!

Deep wounds are so very hard to heal. It must be from the inside out and continually they must be cleansed to keep a new fester from growing.

Thanks for this fabulously woven poem.

Lloyd,
Lots of pain there. Take comfort, show love and it will cast away the hurt.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

How very true. I understand completely, Lloyd.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.
