9: Heartless

25 7 6
                                    

the best part is I no longer feel

nothing

never

since that day when you took it all

everything

ever

by slicing out my heart in pieces

unsheathing

sever

grinding it under your laughter

seething

whatever

leaving only this jagged scar

bequeathing

forever

a life of silent solitary exile.
