Bandaids
Of each abusive remark they allude to
My lips hemorrhage when it comes to you.
Thieving my voice, preventing my serenity
My sanctuary dimes for your own insanity.
Of each little bite and of each little plight
My lips bleed your lunacy in plain sight.

You’re one pretending to leech and try
And deny what disorders seize your mind.
A king’s power declined if it’s vacuous
Your power of agony is gravely contagious.
Which one of us will bound to cry and ache
In an eternal cycle of drain and ocean shakes?

Mad as a matter in our dimly lit liberty
My lips bleed most from our insanity.
Bandaids seem like a temporary healing
Washing the blood away and the feeling
Of your maims on my body and grimness
Yet bandaids never permitted my forgiveness.

Even the sweetest things have horrors
Sticking bandaids on my mouth in order
My lips seep misery mistaken for maple
Your maims blinded by one foolish staple.
So now you deserted me in clean solitude
My bandaids will remain, they’ll recall you.

…

My voice strayed.
You elapse away.
But bandaids stay.

#

The bandaids are a metaphor for the speaker's attempts to cover up and contain their emotional wounds.

#

The relationship is characterized by an imbalance of power. The abuser is portrayed as a "king" whose "power of agony" is "contagious."

#

The bandaids remain as a constant reminder of the pain and trauma.

The use of physical descriptions to implement the abuse suffered, coupled with a livid and conscious healing process, enunciates a sign of freedom in the stanzas, despite the brutality.

Considering the balance generated between the dread of the conception of everything as a representation of dubious matter, it is formidable that the symbolism remains fluid here.

#

This isdemonstrates how perceptive his desire is to convey order even in the midst of chaos, where poetry embraces and contemplates the narrator and his reader just as wounded.
