i.
Your words butcher my heart,
clawing at it and ripping it open,
though you never meant to hurt
me.

ii.
I can feel the sting of the blade
crashing desperately through my
sternum, reaching hysterically for
my most vital organ.

iii.
And my tears streak through the
blood that has streamed onto my
face as I remember the time when
your touch was so kind, when you
told me you’d never leave me.

All I can think now is that you lied.
And yet I still love you...

Damn this is a rough piece. So much contentment through the pain, and the agony in the written tales that unfold beneath every syllable. Damn this piece is remarkable. I'm actually lost for words.
