Just a prick, he says <br />Just a tug, she says <br />Not much pain at all <br />Just a little... <br /> <br />Just a scratch, he smiles <br />Just a stictch, she sighs <br />Not much blood at all <br />Just a little... <br /> <br />Just a cut, I say <br />To make the pain go away <br />Just a memory <br />Long since past... <br /> <br />Just some blood <br />Nothing more <br />Just a heart <br />On the floor... <br /> <br />Just enough <br />To make it bleed <br />Just enough <br />To make me see... <br /> <br />That my past hurts me <br />More than I could physically <br />Because, after all <br />These cuts hurt only... <br />Just a little... <br /> <br />(2006)<br /><br />Lauren Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-a-little-4/
