I let him hold my heart in his hands
Hoping he would be gentle
I prayed he wouldn't leave me
Like the others before him
He was promising
His hands sheltered my beating muscle
His fingers were a ribcage
Palms - a protective skin
But the commitment wasn't enough
And he dropped my ****** vessels
He stole the pericardium away
And left me with an infection
He dangled his theft in front of me
He watched me try to mask the pain
Knowing he took the protective layer away

He stole the pericardium away

He dangled his theft in front of me
He watched me try to mask the pain
Knowing he took the protective layer away
Adding more pain to my already battered heart.
I haven't felt this hopeless in years.
