Painful
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.
