Dissociative Memory Heal (A Poem)

Blank
But not empty
Aware
Unblinking
Stomach feelings
Suppressed anguish
Barely breathing
Ceiling-stare
While your hands caress me
Memories
Of painful daydreams
Listless nightmare
Please
Hold me
While I...

Blank
But not empty
Awake
Shaking shivers while I'm talking
Repeating stories
I've long since forgotten
Your eyes on me feel shameful
But I can't hide

Kiss me
I want to
Believe me
I want to

Hold me
Trace butterflies along my ribcage
With your fingertips and sympathy
While I stare
Unmoving

Ceiling

Blank
But not empty
Angry, hot and bothered
Be my morphine
And please hold me
While I...

Remember
