Splinters

by withered_sys

Every time someone leaves me it feels like they’ve taken a dagger straight to my heart It isn’t a fast motion but slow and painful The suffering prolonged. It isn’t made out of metal, but wood When it’s pulled out of my body Each time, they leave behind pieces of themselves, splinters I wonder how many I’ve collected? Im sure by now I can create a dagger if my own.
