There's something terrible about it

Somewhere over nowhere

There's something terrible about it

When the perfume you smell is familiar
But not the face.

Battle Scars

Lily Priest

Battle Scars

Always there;
Spun silver on peach,
Leaking little agonies
That even with the itching
Never heal.

Healing every day
But the scars remain.

Shifting Drifting

Not sure how I'm feeling
Coping and dealing
Roping and reeling
In need of serious healing
