There must be a wound!
No one can be this hurt
and not bleed.
How could she injure me so?
No marks
No bruise
Worse!
People say 'My, you're looking well'
…..God help me!
She's mummified me -
ALIVE!
(Spike Milligan)

Written by Alice on 2009-08-27 11:06:20 IP: For those of you writing comments directly to the author of this poem: Spike Milligan was an extremely famous English poet who died in 2002 and this poem was written in the 1960's.
He was known for his surreal and comedic poetry and this is one of my favourite poems of his - especially now that i'm heartbroken and really understand what he means by heartbreak hurting so much that there should be a physical wound!

Written by Peter on 2007-04-12 18:29:59 IP: I honestly think this is horrible. I dont think this should be even considered a poem! Its confusing. I mean common mate! I do understand what you are going through though. Heart breaks are worse than death because you have to live through the broken heart.
