Unseen
Unseen moments in the dark
Until now have not found light
Whispers of a snake
Touches fueled by hate
In this bed my soul will stay
In this moment, innocence fades
A hand upon my trembling limbs
A kiss upon my quivering lips
Hushed voices fill my mind
Begging to recall a happier time
Screaming inside, dying outside
Movement towards my chest
Can’t I take my last breath?
A force erupts into my youth
How do I cover such an ugly bruise?
Take me now oh God above
Movement slowing
He is done
Unseen moments in the dark
Until now have not found light
Whispers of a snake
Touches fueled by hate
In this bed my soul will stay
In this moment, innocence fades
A hand upon my trembling limbs
A kiss upon my quivering lips
Hushed voices fill my mind
Begging to recall a happier time
Screaming inside, dying outside
Movement towards my chest
Can’t I take my last breath?
A force erupts into my youth
How do I cover such an ugly bruise?
Take me now oh God above
Movement slowing
He is done
Unseen moments in the dark

A child is brutalized by her parent or guardian, suffering bruises that will probably never go away. That's how this reads to me.
".In this bed my soul will stay
In this moment, innocence fades"
Then later:
"A force erupts into my youth
How do I cover such an ugly bruise?"
Very dark, disturbing write, but beautifully composed. Strong content offered with thought and style. It has symmetry beginning and ending with "unseen moments in the dark." Some fears are far more difficult to confront than others. You might be facing them in your work and doing so with skill and control. Is the title a play on your user name, the moments being your own? Fine work in any case, unseen.

The title reflects the unseen moments I share in my work. This was a very tough write for me.
