Painful

Person bent over
Lucas Clarysse

Your mouth is the gun.
Words, the bullets.

Invisible weapons exist,
spraying across the face and chest.
Staggering, pain inflicted
an internal hemorrhage that can’t be healed.

These weapons are always

aimed at the same place;
Locked and loaded.

The heart

takes on damage.

Some feel like they’ve been shot or stabbed,
others simply get blown away struck numb.

Such blows

to the heart

can seem irreparable;

they hurt so bad.

 

You ache

for days,

weeks,

months,

years.

Numbness intensifies,

hemorrhage spreads.

All you want to do

is wile away and die.

The pain,

the pain

only time

can clear the pain.
