****** Mastectomy

Like sad deflated sacs

Scars webbing keloid

Across the flattened chest

Where ******* were saved

From slashing scalpels

Not to become medical waste

But reminders

That a life that must go on

Compromised

By the toll of life.

And now I have lost you

You being my lust

To kiss and caress

The body I desired

(But mainly your ****

And now I am left with a person I despise

For your beautiful *******

Made me forget

Your empty soul.
