2 Writer's Block: Poetry Break - The Persistence Of Loss She has skin like silkThe best of mark leaversMake the prettiest patterns. Like a chameleonYou never know just what color she’ll shineBut you know she’ll shine outright. A pool as fathomless as the seaThe color of honey in sunlightIf you look just right, you can get lost.She holds herself a fighterTalks like a generalScowls like a dictator.She hides behind that smileShe hides in her own laughterHides from most everyone Behind a cheery disposition.Behind that paper thin smileBehind the shallowest of her laughsShe hides in the darknessNurses wounds most couldn’t bearCarries them with herWon’t let them heal. “The persistence of loss is a teacher.” “If I let them go away, I’ll forget what they taught me.” “If I stitch them up and stop letting them bleed, I’ll die hollow.” Behind that fighter’s stanceBehind her confident wordsBehind that face that warns you you’re in troubleShe gathers her gloomTo feed herTo drive herTo break her. But in that darknessThere’s always anotherAnother that learned from the persistence of loss.Another that’s afraid to let wounds healFor fear of forgetting how they got them. And that Is the creature That can make herOr break her. Poetry Break Write a poem or share one that you like.
