Bear and Pine

Pines that hid and ensconced

Mist laid heavily upon the forest floor

There in that shroud,  safe and alone.

O so alone

Running towards this reprieve like jail.

Breathless gasps escaped that hell.

Roaring and growling through my heart.

O so painful.

Tearing my soul, my very being apart.

Towering within your bellows over my core

My body has never been my own.

O so violated.

You never saw ME.

You never heard ME.

You never listened to ME.

You took ME out of me.

You were the bear in the pines.
