When You Said You Never Loved Me

It felt like 

when you sit on your feet for too long.

The throbbing of thighs

when you try to stand.

The aching of ankles

when you readjust.

The numbness of kneecaps

that you crack

like knuckles.

Your calves

melted to warm liquid.

Your toes

like hot stones.

Your hips

as twisted tree branches.

Limbs mangled, softened

then stiff

like your voice.

oooh harsh...but i have heard words expressed in this tone...very coldly saying "i don't love you anymore"

i really think your analogy is very strong, and sustained well in this.
