Heart on the Table

By SilentStalker

Grab a steak knife from the table
Gonna show you how you did me wrong

Cut as firmly as I'm able
Please be patient love, it won't be long

Since you left my heart in tatters
Make it last just so I hear you cry

Taking yours is all that matters
What a fitting way to say good-bye...

    You seem to take it out better then I can, your rage sizzles hotly and boils to the deepest cores of the earth.. Hurt, it burns me so badly every time I read this.

    cold.. decisive. the systematic severing of a heart. ........ a passionate murder ...with surgical precision. ...so exact... it felt bloodless. the axe man lives. nicely done.
