Surgical

In bitterness, in longing, in nostalgia-

in every emotion concerning you,

I am the open body on a surgical table,

longing for you to know every millimeter of my vulnerable flesh.

I am the raw pinkness of my insides

flipped inside out in an attempt to fix them.

 

I can't settle for anything other than you.

You tear me open with such adept hands;

I go so willingly.
