beaten

by Jessica Yen

a broken glass bottle;
      smeared with my blood
   spilt when it crashed down on my back

black &blue--
conveniently hidden under my garments

shrieks of pain
--in memory

run my fingers across my body;
     tears flow down--
i can still hear him screaming

"it's my fault"
"it's my fault"
"it's my fault"

this is incredibly powerful. i can feel the frantic nature caused by pain, i can hear the shrieking "it's my fault," you pulled me through the whole way. powerful stuff you have here, and you've done a wonderful job of expressing it.
