She slipped the knife through the scar
Right between my shoulder blades
Neat and clean, but not completely unseen
She leaves it there to dig in deep
Until it reaches my beating heart
Pump and bleed, this unending routine
I should have learned my lesson
Rip it out and set me free
Let it scar again
Don't leave it there, to fester and rot
Infection spreading anger
Blood that spills stokes the fire
Metamorphosing my pain
Infusing it with hate
Fossilize this aching heart
And freeze the tip from sinking farther
Please stop me from becoming
Your very own self inflicted wound
A twisted reflection of what you intended
Letting me change into someone
Neither of us recognize
Author notes
The definition of insanity is said to be trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Trust after betrayal, then, is insanity.
What do you feel?
