My fragile heart
Beating in your hand
Wrenched from its cavity
Dripping .ooooozing

The ruby fluid
Falling to the ground
Each drop hitting
The cold marble floor

Once was safe
And cared for
Now beating its last beat
The beat promised for you

I look in your eyes
Wondering why
You said you love me
Please tell me why

I reach for my heart
Jaggered, torn and bruised
Wanting what is left
Clinging to hope

A tiny thread
Keeping it beating
In your hand
Is it enough???

I reach out for your hand
Hoping its there
Grasping in to emptyness
Don't let me die.
