Left To Die

My heart lies empty
 its contents have been drained

You did that!

You came in as I slept 
 and dissected my body

Prying open my chest
 revealing to your sick world my beautiful heart

With your rusty dagger you plunged it in deep 
 causing my sweetness and light to burst forth

Now I lay before you
 a tangled mess 

You and your cohort laugh over me
 and dance your twisted dance 
 reveling in your handiwork

Knowing that you destroyed a life

That you helped create so long ago
