Three Words

The pain she'd caused;
the confusion
the doubt
the abandonment:

A razorblade buried deep
in his heart.
Still, she smiled.

Flash forward: open heart surgery,

the blade is removed
though the scar remains,
dried blood after the battle.

Eyes opened,

slate cleaned.
Her realization dependent
on his three words.

Flash backward:

"You're worth it."
