Forgotten (b2)
I was his broken goddess in the rain
Under the moon
Under the stars -
He, Mr. L, reminds me everyday.
But when I look in the mirror
I feel less and less the goddess he believed me to be
It was worse before, the bruises
On my temples
On my body
The scars on my wrist remain
Stitches
Apparently, I was a dead rag doll
Thrown away to the stray cats of the night
With piss and cigarette butts
I have no identity, I was one with the smoke
I was no goddess
I was a nutcase electro-shocked to sanity
(or they tried to)
Or to insanity
(i think they've succeeded)
Mr. L said I only had my hospital clothes
My "asylum uniform"
And a monogrammed handkerchief,
A white S.C. on midnight blue fabric
- the star to the sky -
When he found me
He took to calling me Selene -
His moon goddess
I don't even have my memory
I am nobody.
This is a poem I "wrote" a year ago(I failed to check the exact date before editing), unearthed as I was checking my 20(!) draft poems. It says the title is 'b2'. Strange, I have no memory of writing this...and I have this strange feeling that this didn't come from my pen because some of the writing and the words are strange (to me now), but I THINK I know Mr. L, and I KNOW I was Selene. The last lines are eerily fitting.
Update: I now vaguely remember most of it. I guess this poem just rattled me when it showed me how much everything -my writing, life, I, Mr. L- has changed.
