pain of a thousand swords
When something hurts so bad it feels like every sword in the world is stabbing you at once. Your body or feelings are screaming for mercy.
My ex broke up with me and said I was a 'disaster.' That felt like being stabbed by a thousand swords.
I ate a whole pizza in one sitting. My stomach screamed like it was on fire.
My dog ran into the street and got hit by a truck. It was like watching a thousand swords pierce my soul.
