Trapped Deep

Kurt Philip Behm

Your edge

cut right through me

and left me

beset

Shredding

my vision

in tattered

regret

What started

as pity

has now turned

to hate

Where trapped

deep inside me

your memory

— serrates

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2026)

    Such are the times where pity becomes a jagged blade. Well written. I often find the opposite where jagged edges are worn with time becoming a sense of pity

    Food for thought, thanks.

    I've known the unpleasant experience of having someone occupy far more space in my thoughts than they deserve, Kurt. Sometimes getting past that takes longer than we'd like. This one hit home. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
