Warm it up
Until it’s incandescently happy
Stroke it well
Until it shines with joy
Crooked smile
Points to what is to come
Ugly spark
In your eye before you proceed
Tear it out
Leave nothing behind
Squeeze it well
Until there’s nothing left
Slice it up
Lifeless on a plate
Eat it quick
Before the life runs out
No taste there?
You used it all up
You squeezed it all up
You messed it all up
You... made it give up
And it will never beat for you again.
