Sharp razor

by Iola   Mar 17, 2008


Like a blade through butter
You sliced through my core with surgical perfection
The words you uttered
Exposed my soul with indiscretion

You held my pounding raw heart in your palm
Caressed it with your tenderness
Brilliance beyond perfection
The way your darker side grinned
Stretching out your arm
And I realized how I got pinned

Whilst I watch you reach out
To an unnoticed bottle of salt
Resentful though calm
Rubbing it on my open wound

I'm screaming
Burnt beyond compare
Once again bleeding
Closing a wound that was never meant to be there

His fist clenching firmer around my fragile heart
The glitch in the system shutting-off
Breaking-down
I can no longer see through
Whilst the angels cry for you
