Linger

Lisa Stanley

The words of the man spoke clearly above me

His kindness too much to bear

His smile lingered long after the speaking

His breath still burns my skin

Long after he left

I still see his eyes

As they turned to fury and rage

In my dreams and waking hour

He never left my mind

He lingers still to haunt my spirit

To devour what is left of my soul

The bruises have faded from the flesh

But the soul is damaged inside
