I Hope You Never Know Peace
They say every seven years
Your skins cells are renewed.
It’s been eleven,
And I still feel your touch
Embedded
Into my skin.
I was just a child then.
Because of you,
I will never feel whole again.

You created a powerful feeling in few words, Magnolia. This poem hits like a punch in the gut.
I felt this one. Great subtlety, but not at the same time. Love it.
Crystal clear, strong and passionate
Passionate and powerful contrast with skin cell renewal to:
It’s been eleven,
And I still feel your touch
Embedded
Into my skin.
I agree with above, this says so much in so few words. Hurts to read, but powerful.
