Open Wound Poem by Lizelle 'Leasel' Martins

Today it all came back
It struck me so hard
I couldn't breath
Air knocked out of me
Broken heart
As if someone ripped my heart
Out of my fragile body

My mind knows
My body knows
But my heart is refusing…
To come to terms with reality

Why do I keep doing this
Naked…
All bare
Waiting on you to catch me
From this place I am tumbling down

'I loved you on purpose'
I was open on purpose
But now..
I am an open wound.
