deflated

by Emily Davidson

you didn't
break me
in that shocking
way a needle might
end a balloon

more like deflated me
a slow leak
out of my tires
a sad limpness

Emily, this one just punched me in the gut with the fantastic, vivid image and invoking of feeling. A favourite for me.

I really admired the word choices in this one. Congrats on POTD!
