Let's Remove Your Rotten Heart
I'd like to
tie a tourniquet
around your
wounded heart
and watch
until the blood
stops dripping
then I would cut away
the mangled mass
of decaying vessels
that hang
below the pulsing
mound of life.
Perhaps then
you could begin,
begin to feel,
begin to love,
begin to live.
