Cristy's new poem is a powerful expression. - poetheart 02/27/02
Come closer, love
And I shall sew you to my side.
Carefully.
With deep criss-crossed stitches
Of love and pain.
So that even if you tear yourself
Away from me
I will forever be imprinted
On your ribs.
And when you run your hand
Over your empty belly and hollow heart
My outline will burn and ache - slowly.
Then you will know all the pain you caused.
And know that I bear the same scar.
