Stitch
I was torn, I was ripped
Cut off and cut adrift
With a slash and a slit
I cracked until I split
How you promised me a slice
A bit of closure with a knife
How you bolted, how you screwed
Till both of us refused
How I wrenched and groped
Till this thing inside me broke
How you stripped and flayed
With the hope I'd melt away
Peeled some skin, carved a niche
Without a snag or hitch
Till you peaked and dipped
Deep into a pit
How you twisted, how I moaned
As you reeled and pitched
Lashing flesh, striking bone
Enthralled by every stitch
