i'm reposting this so maybe it'll get some fuckin feedback.
Barbed Wire Heart
Sharp barbs puncturing every
crevasse. Disconnected ventricles.
With my heart in my hand I watch
as all my emotion seeps out through
each orifice.
Wires wrapped tightly around
Draining out every drop of life.
Tighter and tighter its squeezed.
Deeper and deeper the barbs go.
No one can imagine
the pain I feel as I stand and watch
myself die.
The final life is filtered out of me;
as the last drop splashes to the
stained floor, my heart,
still in hand, turns slowly to
a gray shade, and then to a charcoal
black. Just as quickly as it lost its color,
it withered up and to the floor we crumble.
Soaked in the blood that was forced from
me, we dissolve into nothingness.
