Slice

A Poem by Jack...
"

When someone says "Friends forever" watch your back

"

 

 

 

 

 

Slice,

skin falls open and blood does ooze

 

Slash,

this pain my friend, it’s what I choose

 

Cut,

nerves they tingle with senses running

 

Stab,

in the back, I didn’t see that coming

Jack, you were, more than once, brutally honest with me. Now I feel it's time to return the favor.

Whether you write it in a poem or you use a far more direct approach (as I did) you're still stirring the s**t. However, what I find hilarious is that you attacked me for defending myself, in my own fight. This little war doesn't even concern you, or any of us. You may think it does but I assure you, this is not your battle. I know that you love getting all worked up when you hear any passing battle cry, no matter how faint, and maybe that's something you need to question, but, from one friend to another, with much respect, I'm telling you I think you need to leave this one alone.

As to the poem, well, what can I say? The words speak well enough for themselves.

Nice work here. I liked the use of the different aspects of a cut. This poem makes complete sense towards being back stabbed. The last line is the most powerful, i felt and works the best here.

Thank you so much George. I appreciate you stopping by
Such a good metaphor right now, I think. I've been stabbed in the back and through the heart...neither is enjoyable.

Thank you so very much Angi
Very few lines containing such strong meaning. I can very much relate to this poem. I never really had a true friend in my life, regardless that all of them said how "they would always be there". I don't think I need to tell you what happened with that promise. You captured the subject amazingly in this, great job! :)

Thank you, Jack, that means a lot :)
The lines are stripped of over descriptive measures which lends to the impact, well done, good read.

Thank you so very much for reading and leaving such a nice review
Some of the best poems have few lines or words. This was concise in its impact. Cuts like a knife Jack!!

Hurts so good. Thanks my friend
Ah, good one! At first it feels like your talking about a "Cutter." The emotional attachment of someone who likes the pain of cutting into their own skin as a form of release. And then the knife is flipped and it becomes a weapon, used against them. Perhaps when someone divulges their secret to a doctor...

Or...it could translate to love since love hurts deliciously, until our hearts get broke...

What thought provocation :) Great job!

Words can hurt you no matter what the rhyme says.
Painfully true. I've experienced more than my fair share of backstabbings. It is one of my most desperate hopes that I haven't caused anyone this kind of pain.

Excellent work. Well done.
