today I was happy
finally elated for the
first time since the day
you ripped out my heart
and held it pulsating
in your hand
today I thought I
heard it beating
because maybe you
didn't need an accolade
for the destruction of
my vital ***** after all
today I felt victorious
because I could finally
function properly without
the need for your
hollow void where my
naive spirit found solace
but after being fueled by
the resolute yet wavering fire
ice was lacking
urgency to heal the
agony of internal wounds
