Missed Metaphor

It's like a seizure
through your mind
turn over that thought
see what you'll find

The burning blanket
your skin feels like
torn and blistered
clinging in spite

Breaking your word
leaves a wake of malaise
like a cloud of doubt
that lasts for days

The pulse of the pain
recedes in due time
but lingers in memory
like a kink in your spine

time, that althought it hurts no more in body
