(Writer's Digest Poem-a-Day prompt for Day 19 was to write a burn poem. Link is here: http://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/2013-april-pad-challenge-day-19)
Just when I think it's over,
the discomfort creeps in again,
slamming my head with
a reminder
of foolish pasts
and prices one pays in the present;
piercing my jaw with
an incisive
on old habits
never flaming out entirely;
burning the heart with
the acridity
of wise statements
I listened to
but failed to hear.
