sword

metal gleems on a polished hilt
wielded by feelings of someone
i do not know
it stabs twists and wrenches

my heart's out of place
stabbed repeatedly
im on my knees
holding on to the blade

seeing blood flowing from my hands
yet i will not let us go
the hilt bears my tears
as it nears my heart

the sword
draws deeper
i can feel no more
numbed and unaware
