ache

Your betrayal
causes a throbbing pain
much like a tooth
gone bad.
Sadly, I can't extract you
from my life,
nor deaden your presence
with pills.
No, I'm sure you'll be
akin to a root canal.
After repeat visits and 
too many needles,
I will find you
still there
standing tall,
like always,
with no idea the
pain you've caused.
