I will never hide
the stories
I have piled
beneath my skin
and the pain
I have stashed
under my bones
or the longing
that I breathe
with bruised nostrils
only if you promise
you will never tire of
peeling off the layers
that residues of past
have accumulated
on my body
like rotting scabs.
~ Chhaya
Marvellous imagery sister.
This is both deep and well composed and obviously your style is subtle and sharp!
Welcome back once again.lol.
