                                              my initials 
                          carved into already bruised skin 
                          battered by her own harsh hands and jagged words 

                          now my being resides partially in the skin of another 
                          my memory - forever trapped
                          not in beauty and realizations I have forced upon this world 
                          rather, paled skin
                          my every mistake she has become aware of 
                          to be scarred over 
                          kept pristinely in a prison with bars unbreakable 
                          no lock 
                          but a key hangs outside of the door
                          the key to freedom - or so she thinks 
                          if she can not cross the hurdles of the pain 
                          they repeat, "just get over it" 
                          though she will not erase the pain she has endured 
                          for I myself am encased within the skin of her 
                          she who waited till the night grew dark blue 
                          she who offered me the flag of surrender to exhale serenely 
                          she who I thought to be of sound conscience 
                          she
                          has carved my name beneath all seven layers of her skin 
                          she 
                          had let my name let free a deep red ooze 
                          she, who I do not control
                          has chosen this.
