Arthritis

This old ***** embedded into my bone,

My tibia, infused together with metal,

How wonderfully painful you become during spurts of cold weather,

And I remember you like an old heartbreak. Like a mended break up,

And I broke you over 8 years ago.

So every time the weather rains or is colder

I fell it scream in my ankle

Just like when I sniff your old cologne,

Or hug someone with arms like yours,

I'm screaming inside,

Hoping one day you'll return and take away my arthritis that is developing in my bones but also in my heart.
