I Weep

[billy]

I pick off the scab
and it keeps coming back
like an ex wife with a grudge

Not sure I understand the title, but this is a sweet and funny poem, made excellent by a unique simile. I've probably heard it before, but not in this context. The only change I would have made is to put that last line first, as the half rhyme in the words "scab" and "back" would, I think, have made a more rounded ending, making the poem more complete.

The sense I get is that, given the title, the simile might be a bit more literal than it appears? Perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway, an interesting little piece
