Pain
Such pain is tearing my chest
I feel it twisting and curling
I feel the flesh
ripping and tearing
the blood
pooling at its edges
My fingers curl
upon themselves to imprint
into my palms
that little pain will stop the rest
My eyes
too tired
to cry
anymore
I take a deep breath
I open my eyes
I look down
no blood
no gaping wound
just me
and this empty place
but still the pain
in my heart
