The Knife



From  7/11/10

The dagger twisted
His heart was soft
Malleable
It tore easily

They thought him tough
Impenetrable
But they were wrong
Pain filled his being

Guilt and regret

He had never been good enough
Patient enough
Kind enough
Any kind of enough

Their angry words taunted him
In life and in dreams
It felt never over
Their absence another twisting
Another turning
Another thrust in his
Already ripped heart
Calculated precisely to achieve what it did
