Bleeding Heart


Reconstruct this heart

The one she tore apart

She reached into my chest

Right between my breast

Took hold of the beating thing

Her eyes shined and gleamed

I felt the fire being snuffed out

I hit my knees to the ground

She held it in her angelic hand

I tried to reach out and

Grab my heart and put it back

Then she crushed it, crack!
