My heart lies beating on the sheets
It has been tore out of my chest
left to beat on its own
craving the warmth of the body
as the cold bitter winter breeze rushes in from the window
Good at least its no longer connected
My vocal cords scream
but no one hears me
I stare at my heart
beating there
Rushing sentimental words
thrown this way and that
this is how I tore my own heart out;
My mind slowly suffocates
from lack of blood
no tears can fall anymore
as the discomforting cold breeze rushes in still
and my body dies a slow
unpainful death

The pain comes through, as does the desperation to try and dull it. Sad, a reflection of so many bruised souls out there.
