Open My Chest

If you'd cut open my chest

You'd see a void empty of an ending

You'd see darkness devoid of any light

Between your fingers you'd feel a tar-black soil, toxic to anything alive

You'd see blacks, greys, blues and reds pop out

But not a sliver of yellow

Blue blood would gush out and in the back you'll notice a shriveled, barely beating heart

With cracks over the greyed flesh

My ribs act as bars for the creatures inside

The ones with the sharp claws and darkened eyes
