My bleeding heart was waiting
For one inhale of the love
The love that was fading away
With each exhale

My ribs were cracking
With each punch of the cruel words
Whispered by my mind

Eyes were crying
Each drop of tear felt heavy
Carrying out the ache

Heartbeat felt like warning
To my body to stop this war
My brain was a total mess
Not functioning at all

The bleeding heart was shrinking
The veins holding it
Were now too weak
The bones of the ribs
Were scattered over the red ground

Now the time has stopped
But the heart is still beating
As if mocking the body
Which was now free
Of the war
Of the soul
Of everything...
