anguished

I had you taken pulled from me, not once, my love, but twice. each time, enslaved in dread & fear, to endeavour sacrifice. bare upon the cutting floor. disgraced by lack & knife. . . to cut away a part of me this. . . I so deplore. but still it came to pass. & now an empty vicinity does lie awake, inside of me. . . long after I am spent & honed to recollect the gift, unknown. . . oh hollow sound & door, ajar how near, forgiveness? & peace. . . how far?

Nicely written ...
Maybe it is just me ... but I feel maybe even see a double meaning in this.
May peace find your heart and soul.

I agree, this can be so read with a dual meaning but pulls more in the direction of such a painful exoeriance that does truely leave you feling hollow and empty - a piece of you missing. This is well written where the pain and emptiness is fully expressed in these well strung words.

and is filled with such strong emotion...

elle, I read this poem some time ago and didn't comment! so glad I was searching your page for diamonds in the coal sack of YPDC.
This is so raw, so beautiful. Painful with that echo of emptiness but the crush of guilt along for the ride.
The rhyme scheme is subtle but noticed in a lament that resonates through this macho sensibility. Bravo, great poetry.
