and you taught me heartache


a lesson i was bound to learn
you so aptly delivered the lecture;
that i could never be the same

i refrain from sharp objects
because i remember the pain
SHARP THINGS 101
came after your class of
DEPLETED LOVE

what they never tell you
in school
is how scars look
when they've faded
in the right light
it glows under translucent skin
a test i excelled in.
