Twist the Knife

I can still feel the pain

Exquisite and excruciating

Your rejection made me long for you

As a bird with broken wings watches the migration

I knew you did not feel the same

Every dismissal

A twist of the knife in my gut

An ever bleeding wound

No amount of stitches would join the puckered flesh

It has festered into a putrid mess

And yet;

I come back for more

Twist the knife one more time

So I know I'm still alive.
