Pacing

i feel my heart on a platter.

Beating until it gets faster.

I crushed the air out of my lungs.

Screaming and crying just let me go.

I don't want to hurt anyone else.

This pain has spread like a virus 

dead as it comes 

just as dead as it goes.

Everyone left in agony.

Our hearts are manipulated to think its okay.

No blood no pain

and all is forgotten.

I lace my shoes and race for the horizon.

I find a new place

and a new beat my heart paces with.

Goodbye is all I say

and I am at peace.
