heart on scab on sleeve

not soft like a marshmallow,
but more tender, like an angry boil,
a blister full of pus
poke me enough times, put enough pressure on me, go ahead--
see what happens.
i can guarantee, one way or another,
it's gonna damage you more than it'll hurt me.

i'll be gone. you'll be covered and scarred.
