This piece does have a title but I'm afraid it gives too much away. And I know this is my third today. I don't mean to be selfish. It's just nice to be able to finally share my thoughts with others. So thanks for listening.


Lying beside the still life body
Breathing
heaving
body
Plotting an escape
Escape from the humiliation
Escape from my shame
Escape from the hurt
left by his thrust
Imobilized
Remaining
Starring at another
numbers face


I feel as though I have to justify this one though I wouldn't know where to begin so I guess you may take it as it is.

 The words that come to me here fail me elsewhere.
Mute.
Made dumb by my own thoughts.
Tonguetied and awkward.
Tripping over my own voice.
A pen and paper for my voice.

Helena, you need to justify nothing here.  This poem was excellent.  And that's what this Forum is for...  sharing our emotion with others.

Helena Michael is right!  We air all our dirty linen here and no one is judgemental  

 A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others...
