Lovely Needle

A poem about someone I know.

You’re a needle, so thin and delicate

bending over and back again,

crimped like a ribbon, but so brittle.

Be careful or you’ll break--

maybe you are already.

 

I closed my heart a long time ago

But that little needle point

somehow slipped inside

without me noticing.

I’ve been bleeding all this time.

 

You’re a stab in the heart,

my lovely needle.

 

You’ve gotten inside me so completely

that my heart is divided into two,

And by your slowly slipping inside

my words spilled out like ruby droplets

and you licked them up like milk.

 

You should’ve stuck in my eye

and stayed there, where you belong.

You asked for it to be like this

for your own satisfaction

but you are never pleased.

 

How I want to swallow you whole,

My lovely needle.

Another poem that's still a work in progress. It's about someone I know. Take it however you wish beyond that.
