not yet not yet
you did not get to me
yet

(I did not tell you) I am
thicker than I
used to be

silently I smirk
scar tissue in place to shield
vital areas, recovery
has now become
succinct

with bladed tongue
you edge your way forward
incrementally

(we both know)
you won’t stop
until
I bleed

Very precisely written and can capture many situations. Enjoyed this a great deal; wish you would post poems more often.

Happy Holidays to you.

Hugs and warm regards,  Pat

If you see it coming so clearly, I wish you could just be somewhere where it didn't hurt you.  Some circles are good, and some not...but they all just come around again.  Wishing you the best.

Never have a shield when you need one!  Your words are a straight arrow, center target--enjoyed!

jellybeans, I wish I could see your poetry here more often, too. You do know how to get your emotions out in a poem, sweetie.  
Thanks for sharing, friend......

Ouch! Those bladed tongues can inflict so much damage. *S* Perhaps instead of offering this surgical tape to bind wounds, we could tape mouths shut instead? *G*

I like this one very much, Lovey. *S*
