"Nostalgia left the bruises on my hips"
215 reads
Never-ending nightmares
wake me with a start
once again
It felt too real
I lift my shirt to check
Nothing...
Breathe...
Just breathe...
That was a lifetime ago...
So that I can
go back to sleep,
I tell myself that
nostalgia left the
bruises on my hips,
and not him

@Rev_Frenchie Thanks for the challenge!

Awesome job on this challenge. Great write - certainly something I could see as an all-too-real nightmare.

Great poem. I often think that the bruises that don't show are the ones that hurt the most!

When the fear stems from real terrors, sometimes the nightmares never go away. We are just ready now to battle them away. :)
