The Scratching Post

scratching post. dig deep.
feel my flesh tear underneath fingertips
i want to taste iron with your lips
my face is contorted in a scowl of ecstasy

let me burn for days
have the wound reopen when i take a breath
this is how i want to remember you
so good it hurts

because as long as that pain is there
the pain of you being gone is less
constant reminder

i wont let time heal this one.
