Cuts Like Steel

Yes, I am hurt. And yes, I'm bruised.

And yes, physical wounds can heal.

Speak to me in another year

Of how emotions are not steel.



A thousand cuts from  poisoned blade

Continuously reapplied

Are what I must endure each day

Vicious pain cannot be denied.



It is myself I castigate

For what is torture's cruelty

A happy life was briefly mine

Mortal love is a travesty.



Yes, I am hurt. And yes, I'm bruised.

And yes, physical wounds can heal.

Speak to me in another year-

Will the blade by then lose its zeal?
