Dagger

Once again, The dagger makes an appearance As this dagger has hurt me, many times before. The stabbing-like agony this dagger brings That penetrates my being completely At every chance it gets. Sometimes the dagger, Removes itself from my heart But is never fully gone. Randomly and often It pierces deep into my core and twists from side to side Reopening the wound Before I have had time to fully heal This dagger of torment This dagger of immeasurable pain This dagger that forever remains This Dagger, my steadfast foe
