half stitched heart

Half stitched heart rips at the seams

begging to be sewed once more

Preachers, like thieves, run rampant

and lie dormant.

The infection burrows deeper

its making me sick

slowly writhing, twisting and

turning the dull blade, severing

the stitches with every turn.

Defiant love ***** away my soul

only to replace it with torment

and pain.

Its the only thing I know.

Kind words and a smile is fake

I can see the pity.
