heart open

cut my heart open,
take away the part that i broke.
and leave it gaping at the night sky,
only for you to fill in,
a part of yours.

pick my heart apart,
throw the rotting part,
all the blackness inside.
decorate it with your colours,
and the secrets in your eyes.

break the wall of my heart,
hack it open with an axe,
kick it, crush it,
do whatever you can to break through it,
because i could no longer speak to the person inside the wall.

as im incapable of doing so,
as ive been consumed by the comfort of the loneliness,
as my heart now is made of steel,
for someone who once shattered her own heart,
like a piece of glass.
