Stiching it up
June 11, 2022
What do you do
With a wound
When you have no thread to stitch it up
Pockets empty
Empty from the inside
And a needle that is rusted
Which will only worsen the infection
Until there is no skin over it
But an abyss as dark as your soul
As deep as the well you’ve allowed to consume you
What do you use to stitch it over with?
Where do you marry the needle to the skin?

Written probably after another impulsive episode. Inspired by the roleplay in front of the mirror. Yes, you can always stitch up the holes but what if you don’t have the materials?
I do not often revisit my works to review and edit. I want to preserve the initial atmosphere, tone, character and life of the moment. I fear I will not be able to return to such moments upon revisiting and recapture what was in the past I had attempted to keep sack.
Thus, there are inevitable imperfections left by the human who was in the flow of the moment; before they left her again.
