Become still

She took the knife and dragged it 

down the center of her chest letting

the pain out slowly.

She crippled at the sound of tearing

muscles and veins.

She pushed the heaving lungs aside

and found the one broken item in

her chest.

It caused her pain and anguish.

She wanted it out.

She wanted it gone.

She reached into her slowly fainting 

chest and ripped it out.

The once beating heart became still.

As did she with her hollow thoughts.
