Heartstrings Cut

My heart sings a beat of love

send me a partner

to have and to hold

to keep and treasure

forever and ever

never letting them go

not even in death do us part

Heartstrings Attached

your wish is your command

he says

“ready or not here I come”

your heart is attached

his is not

he will reach in with his bare hands

and rip your heart out.

Squeeze it till there is no spark.

He will stomp on it taking every breath

then he will eat it and

you will know

death

For he is heartless

Heartstrings Cut.

(blood drips from the words Heartstrings Cut)
