when i was a child i experience my mother as an enigma someone out of reach

The

Window

 

Battered and scored

Beaten and kicked

Loved and kissed

Pleaded and begged.

 

Looking in -

Impenetrable

Sad round eyes

Shattered mind

Cut apart -

 Ostracized.

 

Heart of ice

Engulfed -

With rage and fear

Welcomes aloneness

United with hopelessness.

 

Cold heat burns deep

Impersonal wind

Festers the wound

Licks the pain.

 

Bloodless glass -

Formidable

 Encircles her soul

 Doomed to despair

I love her so!
