2022.13 Collagen

#ContentWarning for implied abusive relationships, torture, nightmares. Look after yourselves.

I still bear your scars, in more ways than one.
I have to hope you were having fun when you made them;
what’s the point in hurting if you can’t laugh about it?
This detail still eludes me.

I have to hope you were having fun when you made them
watch your descent, step by aching step,
pain etched into innocent nerve-endings.

What’s the point in hurting if you can’t laugh about it,
tribulation promising a prop, a stopping of obscurity.
It lies.

This detail still eludes me,
fevered dreams reaching into my waking, saying:
punishment works both ways. You need to finish it. Enough.

A photo from the inside of an old-fashioned stone dungeon, from the bottom of the steps leading up into the light. The majority of the image is in darkness, with a small amount of daylight spilling down from above, illuminating a dusty bench or possible chest to one side, the irregular stones of the wall, some of them in the stairwell damaged, with a strange, small, domed apeture halfway up the stairs. There is the merest suggestion of a chair with arms in the far left of the picture.
Found this on Google Images. Apparently it comes from Adobe by kucherav.

Dark mood today after some serious conversations, need to let this one out; hope it helped. If you recognise yourself in any part of this, please seek support. Seriously.

Anyway, this is a trimeric, which I saw Leanne Moden use elsewhere, and decided to give it a go. It’s also now available as a form on the Concrete and Repeating Forms Spreadsheet.
