TORN

There we go again

Heart ripped

Torn to shreds

Cords dangling

Tried CPR

Nothing

Tried pumping

Nothing.

Tears flow

No ebb and flow

Another loss

Time lost

Wrists torn

Flesh worn.

Chapter closed

Door shut

Windows closed

Silence

Nothing.

Can you hear that?

No?

Shhh listen carefully

Can you hear it?

That’s the beat of my heart fading.
