I never imagined so much of me could ever be ripped out
But here I am
Bruised and beaten,
What's left of me, numb.
The bloody heart inside my chest
Throbs against its cage
The beats cry out your name,
And my torn wrists ache for your touch
But as I reach out, I'm met with cold walls
They surround and trap me,
Keeping you out of my grasp
I refuse to suffer defeat.
The further down I'm pulled,
The harder I fight back up
I enclose myself in darkness
And the world erupts from my throat.
My insides have since been scraped bare,
And as my eyes run dry, my wrists begin to flood.
My body raw,
I write your name in scarlet,
The beat of my heart matching each syllable
And as I give myself up to the cold
Your face is burned into my vision
