bone yard of the bent

the privacy
            of heart,
untamed
            and forever
                                 wandering,
built 
              by
                      years
                                    of
r e a l i z a t i o n,
             exploration, 
                         courage, 
              and hurt.

if we could show what we have encountered,
our faces would resemble a map through
the bone yards of Hell.

if we could capture the love and the pain
in a vial, it would expand into a nova
and wipe away the smirk on those who
have charmed us away from trust.

and yet we still reside
                                in body of mind,
gently stroking the sensitive part of our soul.

what we once were
never left, but continues on
a little more guarded
in the cell of secrets we keep.

                                  who we are
remains untarnished in the vat of acid
            we swim,
carefully armored against
the weapons they wield
to break down the gates
                               of the innocence 
                                             they try to take
in this sympathetic bone yard 
                                                    of         HELL
