Cut

Friends left their mark upon my table,
strangers left theirs upon my skin.
Covered with indelible cuts, gashes and stains,
my heart has been likewise mutilated,
blade to wood and needle to skin.
But here, pen to paper,
but here, I leave my own.

(From the POV of my main character in Beyond The Bridge, Gordon Hammond.)

  1. I love this. You state that it's from Gordon's POV, but in reality, Gordon is simply a part of you. So in truth, you're speaking from a part of yourself.

  11. I like the threat of violence in this. The danger. "Pen to paper" that's the bit that catches my eye
