Aftershock
It shook my earth
And made it crack
I thought I was safe then
but now it is back.
The earthquake hit me
hard and strong
I fell on my knees
everything felt so wrong.
The ache is there
of a loss greater than any win
a shadow of someone
wearing a narcissist's skin.
Two steps forward
one step back
it is some kind of progress
but I am still under attack.
While the shaking is gone
and emotions are back under lock
the ground is again trembling
I think it is an aftershock.
