Tameshigiri

 

Sword driven in by the right hand 

A tiny bit of pain

An introduction to the love 

I have come to know

⇼

Seal it with sweet nothings

You don't mean the things you say

You were robotted into the character you now play so well

Cloned, Cajoled... chained so intricately into the picture of me you paint

⇼

Sword driven in, left hand looks away

As if to say sorry 

I shriek in distinct horror

⇼

Bandage me up nicely 

Stuff up my womanness

Take it off

Prime and polish my exterior

Lofty price now ready to see your world?

After all broken pencils still shade

⇼

 

Sword driven in, both hands show a mastery

You've done this a lot

You tell me I'm the first

Sublimity chokes my guts

⇼

First cut they claim, is the deepest

Evidently, we are prone to forget the first 

when we repeatedly become numb to the depth of pain

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
