Raspberry Bruises by: Enidualc Wrapped hands round pristine neck Leaving raspberry bruises Immortalizing a moment seeming to stretch on into infinity When in fact mere seconds pass full of scalding heat, Enraged emotions, bubbling, exploding, consuming. Wrapped hands round innocent neck contaminating the essence of the skin, The unblemished perfection of purity. Saturated the memory of times not so long gone, Drenched the mind with a perspective of dread, This is what happened every time I bled. Took your hands to hold into fists, To clench with intent, motive to hit, Raised one up with a gesture to move, Wishing to crush, hungry to bruise. All the guilty emotions suppressed under a tarp of civility Preventing the words to escape to free the mind To let life go on, sinking in the sin you perpetuate. Yell, rant, rave, purge the soul, purge the mind, And let it free to help let us breathe. Wrapped hands round my heart, Stilled its beat, stole the heat. Sucked me dry, left just a husk, Emotions fled, now I'm as dead.
