pain of a thousand swords
It’s when pain is so strong you swear every sword in existence is trying to kill you, slowly.
My crush asked me out and I said no. My feelings felt like they were being stabbed by a thousand swords.
I got grounded for two weeks. It felt like a thousand swords were slicing my soul into pieces.
I tripped over my own feet in front of my class. My face burned like it was on fire from a thousand swords.
