Tiptoeing shadows,
Remembering my strangled heart.
You cut me open.
So I traced your lips
With my blade.
They lay in a red box;
Only I can see you smile now!

grisley .... reminding me of Hannibal the cannibal lol. great take on the prompt.

I love the visual of a strangled heart, but nothing matches the one of a surgically removed smile.
Vile in its beauty and brokeness of an item that could've kept things whole by being apart.

Oh my!...a bit dark for me!
I am a creature of light and happiness so I found this write to be dark and heavily atmospheric..however that does not detract from its quality..a good write...Dad xx

LoL, you must have read me saying I'd be impressed by turning a seemingly happy prompt into something this gruesomely dark.
Kudos to you.
Okay, I'm officially disturbed--your imagination is clearly vivid and raw, or at least it is here...!
"Remembering my strangled heart."
Great verb usage with 'strangled'...and unique phrasing here.
That ending is truly creepy. Quite a movie you have here...
Thanks for entering.
