The more that is taken from me
The more I appreciate what I have earned.
Steadfast in every measure
I welcome the right to be filleted.
Unannounced slivers, one at time, carved and discarded.
Most would cry mercy.
Never having sought that, I do not know how.
It is understood that you cut metaphoric needs, into me.
They flay more deeply than any blade.
When it is all said and done
You will find your initials
Etched into my deepest marrow.

UnderYourSpellabout 16 years agoWhat is said often cuts deeper than any physical wound ... thanks for the read
Angelineabout 16 years agoThere a lot that I think is really good here: I like the slivers image and the ending. The overall tone of the poem is sad and dignified. I think you could make some changes to tighten it up. I'm not sure, for example, that I understand "metaphoric need." I hope you keep posting poetry though--you're good. :-)
