My eyes watch you through charcoal glass
Your pale chest rises and falls
As my breath of life flows through you
Yet the jagged red hole
Shows an empty space
Where your heart should be
It lays pulsing on the floor
Not dead but forgotten
I cannot push my hand through the glass
To tenderly grasp your heart
And place it within you
For if I did the arc of time
Would be broken
Life and death would cease
So I will you alive
With all my power I will you
But only you can raise yourself
Flutter your lashes
And stretch your fingers
Only you can rescue your heart
So take my strength
Because you are
All of humanity
Dying
Close to extinction
The end
Yet
You are my creation
So live!

A very moving peice of work here. I like how it flows like.. flowing in and out of consciousness..sanity to insanity... and the coldness of it.. is chilling to say the least. Its creation but... its as if love is held back by a great darkness - good one.
