Sometimes the cut is so deep <br />No woe-in-me tale is enough* <br />This cut is my December seventh <br /> My nine eleven, <br />My I can’t-live-without-him tale <br /> <br />Each story has a gory monster <br />But I never would have pictured him <br />I never thought he would be the star <br /> My fiend, my ogre <br />In the my-life-is-so-depressing saga <br /> <br />Lives can change, you can live with anything <br />If you have what you can’t live without <br />He taught me how sudden, how profound <br /> My loneliness can be <br />I-don’t-want-this-to-happen-to-me now <br /> <br />*Love by Toni Morrison <br /> <br />(May 2004)<br /><br />Sandra Robert<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cut-is-so-deep/
