HEARTSTRINGS

By Andrea Campbell




The memories tug on my heartstrings

As I sit there in darkness absolved by my sins,

I try to wash away the thought of him

But the cruel feeling of his swollen hands still burns my skin,

And as I sit there wishing to be held again

I remember exactly what he did

To make me hurt him in the first place

And despise every fibre of him so much I wanted him to hate me the way I hated him.

 

Still, when I catch his eyes in the hallway I find myself wishing to be lost in them again,

Then I remember how lost I used to be,

So much so that I forgot how my God taught me to speak,

And I let him tie my heartstrings into ropes as he strangled the life out of my neck,

Squeezing the blood and the energy out of me as I begged for one last peck.
