Literature Text

Your methods are punishment
the way your words fooled
a snug chest cavity into
three hearts

If I could mislead you, I would not
with a sharp-tongued allegory
but with the intimate force
of two small hands

Searing overburdened shoulders
fingernails against blades
reading ruined skin
one last time

Delicately severing our
tautest tether
leaving
none

Goodness gracious, this is... heartbreaking. And all too real. Lovely work. Sad, but lovely.
