tumours are all i have.

When you start to really

love a person, 

the kind of feeling

that leaves you sore

and makes you bite your nails;

it’s like touching

 

a growing tumour 

under your skin.

Author's Note

... and you just let the tumour grow.

Strange analogy, although I feel that love consistently grow... anyways a poem that made me think.

[Arly Parent]

I like that. And your author's note completes it. Why not have that as a permanent part of the poem?
