hollow point

your heart will not break

when it impacts your frail chest

your skeletal frame shatters

fragments upon fragments

they will litter your surrounding organs

drawing blood and aching

your skin will lose its warmth

the glow of your cheeks no longer there

every inch of your body will sob

your heart will remain whole

regardless of tragedy

it is the rest of you that will decay.
