Working at Copies Plus, I Never Had a Cut As Deep As Yours

11 minute 11 line poem I was "challenged" to write in my Adv. Poetry class. Yep.

Working at Copies Plus, I Never Had a Cut As Deep As Yours

 

The paper cut on my finger reminded me of you

On the first cut happened to be the deepest

While I forgave for what did happen

I’m having troubles letting go of it from memory

For never getting a paper cut at work before

I consider myself blessed

But for what happened with us

Only made me open up my eyes

To the flaws inside

Letting my heart out for you to have

Only to be stomped on by you.
