Razor thread slicing
Acid drops of pain
Hanging
Like poisonous pearls
Quicksilver dagger
Plunging
Twisting
Stabbing
Agony of Crimson red
The thundering
Pounding pulse
Throbbing
Slashing frayed ribbons
Ribbons of frayed torment
Lashing a whip of steel knives
Cold iron burning away
Squeezing fist of torture
Gripping in burning talons
Slicing sinew
Raw and bleeding
Throb of every vein
Wave of agony
Tide rising
Sea of misery
Drift away
Float into nothingness
Lifted up to weightless
Relief
I’m sure to most, this sounds violent. In some ways it could be considered that, but it’s nothing more than a woman voicing a pain that happens frequently. I am aiming this at women and girls, for if you go through it, without explanation, you know what I am talking about.
This has been in my mind for a while now, one of my coping mechanisms when I feel like crap. When the heating pad just won’t work, or when the fetal position is all I can stand to be in. If it helps, then I’m glad.
Any guys reading this…. You may want to move onto another post.
