Forced Brutality

For anyone who has felt compelled to be more brutally honest than they ever cared to be...


You made me do it

Begged me cut your heart

A serrated start

Swallowed hilt to tip

Finished with a twist

Nay one foot apart

Rigor swears my mark

Bit by bit you quit


Were there other means!

I tried piercing eyes

Nuanced language teemed

Heavy still you leaned

Denial’s unwise

Turning friends to fiends

  2. Thank you so much, Anna! Your encouragement means a lot :) Next big project, National Novel Writing Month in November. We'll see how that goes!
