Work Text:

 

What Cannot Be Spoken
by BuffyAngel68

 

The double edged sword of my memory,
yet again, catches me unaware,
rending tender, unhealed wounds
open once more.

Once more, I bleed for you.
As before I gladly would have spilled my life out at your feet
to save you,
so my unbidden tears flow,
to fall on your cherished image.

They lack worth because you cannot feel them.
You cannot hear my words of anger... of sorrow and remorse,
          or take my pain.
Would that my heart might be reduced to ashes in the fire,
as easily as letters and photographs;
never to feel again.
To find the ability to hurt as I've been hurt,
without regret.
