Fish Hooks

Seven fishhooks of seven months

Dig deep into flesh and bone

Anchoring above my heart

With the sharp pain of being alone


The lines pull tight relentlessly

Fueled by a woman's scorn

Sinew is compromised

Skin is stretched and worn


Defying a venomous biting ache

Feet are firmly planted

This heart forging careful beats

Fueling eyes which are enchanted


By a path that is yet to come

But brings roses on the horizon

Come seven months from now

The fishhooks will be gone


The ripping over my heart

Will be sutured and washed away

I'll be fishing for a new start

I'll be living a new day

A/N:

Knowing that as painful as that storm might be, as painful as doing what must be done might be, there is always a new hope a new life waiting for us in the future.
