Ego, metaphorically speaking

Flirting with You involves:

multiple stab wounds, three
broken ribs, two black eyes,
a dislocated shoulder, a
shattered knee, 1 quart of 2
types diluted with whatever
dirt, and other particles of
grime that are ground in.

i now have a broken
rainbow collecting just
under the surface of my skin
- yellows, greens, purples
and blues. You have a loose
tooth and a mouth of tinned
blood dripping down your
rough chin.

none of this matters, my
skin is thick, my bones strong
and so are yours – i
would suffer through those
acute pleasures all for You,
just to do so with You,

but i didn’t count on You,
did not count on You
finding a way in and
twisting my heart out. You
walked in so casually - did
so much damage – and i
didn’t even stop You.
