Once upon a time,
You tossed my emotions in the shredder.
I paid you back in flesh.
Nervous, I grasped the knife.
Pressing it against me,
Right before the puncture.
I freeze. My arm feeling the sting.
I gather myself. Deep breath.
Serated blades saw away,
Breaking skin, tearing muscle.
Then the blood drips.
We exchange wounds,
Cut for cut.
It wasn't love, just pain.
