Poetry: Neutered

[mercury_pheonix]

Words are spears; sharp points
Shrouded
In a comfort blanket.

Blood is drawn.
It trickles
Down.

Serrated edges kiss the flesh,
That caress I wish I had had,
Distorted: better than nothing.

My eyes are dry.
New tear ducts, gouged out
By syllables:

I love you

Elation; heart swells.

As a friend.

Implosion; too far swollen.

A knife at the throat of my femininity.

Beautiful and painful in equal measure, Mercury. (;_;)

I can sympathise with your poetry, as this happened to me when I was about 14-ish; although I don't have the poetic skill that you have to convey the feelings, I know that they are painful.

Thank you for writing this, and I hope that you feel better for it. [Hugs]
