Internal Fracture

I thought denials would not wear me down
like metals straining against load but their repetition

pressed my endurance to its limit.
It fractured me in ways invisible to you

spreading like a crack until we are pulled apart 

like metals tired of each other

where the sex hurts like the weight of a jet engine 

sheared from the wing, then free falls.
