Bruises

Fränz Müller

The impact of your words

leave an indelible mark,

unseen to the naked eye

but quite real, quite painful;

a lasting impression,

my spirit cringes at those

slight changes in facial expression

that telegraph that

another blow is approaching.

    Beautiful expressed!!

    Here sensitivity approaches paranoia or maybe post traumatic stress. A sad poem of present reaction to past treatment

    Fränz, I think many people who have lived through difficult relationships or environments will recognize this immediately. That feeling of reading a room, reading a face, and knowing what is coming before it arrives is all too real. This resonated with me. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
