Rehabilitation Gone Awry

as you pull back

for yet another swing

I see the blood of your knuckles

on my heart

my very being seeping out

flowing down the sidewalk

melting with the rain

forming deep crimson-black puddles

staining the already tainted cement.

 

you have torn out my aorta

bits of right ventricle go flying

the AV node plops to the ground

the complete annihilation

of an already damaged *****

 

excuse me...

but where do they sell new hearts?
