You held my beating heart in your hands. You felt it undulating, it was pulsing for you. It was pulsing for me. You kept it alive. You kept me alive. Having you with your stony, stormy eyes, created a life so worth living. For such short moments in time my heart was yours and yours was mine. Now,my face vacantly rubicund. The winter winds lash my visage. And you. You lashed my heart. You tore it into strips of scarlet. You used your cat'o'nine tails pen. It bled. I bled. Love haemorrhaged, now my love's all dead.
