Puncture Wound

A Poem

By D351Published 2 years ago 1 min read

I miss her

Like blood misses the wound

Like gasping for air and only finding water

Like smoke misses the flame

Like desperately punching 911 into a calculator

Like intentional overdose on placebos

Like a stylus on paper

Like scratching through a winter coat

Like a bullet in a boba straw

Like a knuckle that won't crack

Like a cigarette I've never tasted

Like a pain screamed for in tongues

Like a dog in an unlocked cage

Like flowers on an unmarked grave

I miss her

Like blood misses the wound

While falling from her knife

sad poetry
