pulling part
shooting upon
trying to puncture
the hearts
never ending
never wailing
driving to suicide
teenage demise
you protect
you fight
you kill joy
'n find spite
two hearts intertwined
you break upon the glass
on the wall
creatures of heart
emotions so meek
you feel threatened
by their presence
you give a dose
of Novocaine
try to break their beating hearts
'n keep your lil' boy
in your arms
forever
'n ever
his eyes blood red
hungry for your death
the china doll
he'll slice your throat
once
he can move again
feel again
vacant in the mind
dying
but living
all the same
just a zombie of your design
a puppet upon your finger
pull the strings
to make him speak
voice box blown out
the rotting wood of his face
tear stained
'n shadowed with the ashes
of fire burnt
destroyed
love affairs.

Good choice of prompt. I presume you used the slip jar method. It looks like you might have since the lines of the write are quite spontaneous and stream of conscious like.
Thanks for entering this contest.
