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
