Thorn

i am the thorn in your heart

Feast your eyes upon me
betrayer of hopes
cold and indifferent to your desperate lies.
trying to keep me
like a thorn inside your flesh.
i have no use for you anymore
why do you want me to stay.
you bleed from the thorn in your heart
yet you only drive it deeper
hoping foolishly
that i will be yours
and stay inside you like an infection
numbing your pain
as my poison spreads.
foolish girl stay away
but you did not listen
and now i am trapped within you
i cannot be pulled out
dying with a smile on your face.

Thanks :) And i think that's been my favourite thing about joining this site; seeing the world through the hearts of other poets. Its especially fascinating looking at the opposite side of something ive written about, like with your poem. :)
