Knives

she stared

only for a moment


weighing her

choices


before she shoved

a knife into my stomach


because she never

knew the pain


it caused when she

spoke of him


though of course

this meant for me


my own endless

torture


so knives become

lodged in my throat


whenever i look

to her


because i know

she’ll never love


in the way she

loves him compared to me
