here is my heart
pinned down
ready to be dissected

being vulnerable is a weakness
never let them see what
goes on underneath

ribs cracked
muscles torn
veins run dry

I don't know if
I've ever been whole
or if my whole life has been fractured

even the ventricles are hollow
aorta barely pulsing
everything blacked with decay
