Under Skin

I remember your final goodbye
Left me searing numb everywhere except
For my heart where pain rubbed
like splinters disintegrating
under skin

This is really nice! It's always horrable to say goodbye.

Splinters hurt, even the little ones, especially in the heart. Very good!!

That was a very clever use of splinters as a metaphor. The image conjured by the words made me crinch.
