Phantom Pain
by Elaine Carey → (All Poetry by Elaine Carey)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook

Sometimes worse than current pain, feels just as real...

She oozes acid


on my


placid couch.


Can't contain her rancor,


Wants to share the cancer.


Her "Ex" is just


a mortal man


groping for an answer.


She aches and burns


in amputated limbs,


things she cut off


slice by slice,


In rage, she wrought the carnage


with malice and her own pen-knife.


With pity,


I try to take the


instrument away,


at risk of being stabbed myself.


To strive with her


is mockery;


her will to love


is on a too-high shelf.

Bess, well written. Never know what a person will do under those circumstances. Sometimes the pain is worst until the rot is severed. That was kind of a crude statement. Oh well! It's true.
