Weapons

I discovered his talents slowly
his choice of weapons,
finding the striking point,
and timing of blows.
He is so adept at
wielding a double edged blade
of infidelity and indifference.
Now my hopes
have bled all over the floor.
Like some drunken Jackson Pollock masterpiece.
Hastily flinging about the words,
"sorry...so sorry..."
It is working,
about as well as a Band-Aid
on an arterial wound.
Not enough ... not enough...
Good thing
that I am getting so practiced
at stitching the pieces of myself
back together.
Maybe one day,
I won't even feel the scars.
