As If Valentine

A poem is like a knife
stabbing the brain and heart
only more exaggerated
each poem is like a stab
but some fall short
and hit the eye instead
or pierce the tongue
one I love entered the ear
and was the ear it said
one turned the cheek
and lost the cheek
one fled and now is dead
a poem is what comes home
to cut the bread
to fill the bed
