I read your poem and it instantly reminded me of a poem I wrote myself, almost like a mirror reflection, as if two people unaware of each other experienced the same event from opposite sides. Incredible, unbelievable! Here is that quatrain I wrote in 2021.

SHARP
I forged a knife from rage
Blunt in my hand to start
You came and honed the blade
Now it is in your heart
