Between Brackets

by Baby Rainbow   Jan 27, 2015


Why is it so impossible
for my mind to forget one simple touch?

(A touch I never asked for.)

Why does this memory plague my dreams,
bringing the devil's truth to the forefront of my mind again?

(A truth which is still my biggest secret.)

And why, oh why,
do I always sweep it away like it never happened,
like it never affected me at all?

(An affect that remains hidden
between the brackets of my poetry.)

    Second to last line: "affect" should be "effect"?

    This is a personal, emotional, probing write and I like how your inner monologue (inner thoughts) come to play here. It's personal enough for you yet leaves a lot for the reader to think about. Why I've written, who I've written about, a secret that I've shared that I have to accept as truth, and especially that connection with a person. I like how you simply mention that word, "touch", and whether physical/tangible or they emotionally touched you in your lives, it keeps coming back in memories and moving you.
