The pain,
You cut me to the core
And cut me more
Your words sharper
Than any two edged sword
The pain inside,
Brings tears to my eyes
The rend in my soul,
Causes the tears to roll
Unchecked down hot cheeks
And yet,
With you in pain
I’d try to kiss it all away
My love for you is so deep
It’s the conduit for your knife
The way for the slice
That severs heart and soul
Like bone and sinew
They let go
And fly away
Even as I do my best
To kiss away your pain
