i've been the leper by Vikki Owensi've been the leper,
i've become the not quite
healed,
not to say im in pieces,
but still on my last leg.
in my dreams
i still see you,
a face that has been etched
caustically on my soul,
and when i love you in my dreams
i learn that love is
non-corporeal.
i burned to ashes,
and became an ember,
the not quite remnant of
what once burned,
but still i flicker,
and i still love you,
though i only touch you
in the dark. 08/16/2011 Posted on 08/17/2011 Copyright © 2024 Vikki Owens
