Your word blade cuts my
heart, lips no more to speak, but
I'm sorry, so lost
Shame is a dull blade
sharpen your knife, baby
cut me loose
Sharpen blade, cut
open vein, let truth bleed red:
You're still not here
Spend recklessly, horn
in where you don't belong, leave
footprints on my life
I stare, relentless:
your face – oh, that face – imprints;
can't believe you're here.
I must say something
reckless and pointless and true:
never leave me, please
(The poem above came together as a result of responding to #haikuchallenge and #haikuwordgame prompts on twitter, then piecing them all together. An interesting little experiment in poetic fiction.)
