Gutted
Dissected
Sliced open on a metal slab.
Torso splayed for the world to see.

Take it all,
Bound by Truth,
I cannot move.

My bleeding heart,
Claimed by another,
By the one for whom it was all worth,
Spurts blood with every beat.

Take it all,
I am hardly breathing.

They rip out my innards,
Entrails
Piece
By
Piece.
Anything which can be wrought.
Inhuman, a thing.
I lie there,
Retching
Screaming
Weeping
Painfully aware of all the happenings.

Take it all,
The world has now gone black.

They say that,
The one who claimed the heart,
Never intended to come.
He claimed it
But in the end
It proved too messy.

They let me bleed out.

Blood.

Blood rushes from me;
Drowning my sorrows;
Pooling on the floor.

He is not coming for the heart.

Who will save it, then?
With satisfied grins they turn and walk away.

Just leave me here.
Just leave me
With my cold slab.
My heart.
My Truth.
My near empty corpse.

He was never coming for it.

The darkness calls.
Please, Mother,
I am ready.
Take it
Take it All.
