Heart Shaped Lobotomy

By Asouldivided

Slow twitching she limps along this long corridor
Only when she passes one of the few rusty lights
You can see the sharp metal flash, she carries in her hand
Flashing like her teeth when we kissed in full moon nights

Th corridor seems to be endless – at least I hoped
Slow but steady she cleaves through the water- rust mixture
Which accrued the hall over the years – Her walk reminds me of
This summer where she broke her leg and could just limp

A flightier remembrance-smile glares for a few seconds
only to make space for my motionless stare into the space
An old house builded of Memory-bricks; once it was our home
Without the door and windows it looks more like a ruin now

When I swim up the surface I face the horror again
She stops infront of me and I cover my view to
Flee her bloodshot eyes – I looked and loved so much

“I love you”, I scream with my last breath

With a gentle smile on her face she raises the sharp
metal cutlery-nail and slowly starts to drill my

Heart

Brought me in my new room
~I smile~
Tied me up my new bed
~Can only smile~
Gave me a goodnite kiss
~Endless smile~
Endows her loveliest expression
~Smile~
While she cuts off the light
~smile in the dark~
Softly closes the massive door

Left is a dump mind smiling
Up the ceiling - Lying
in the darkness - waiting
for her return

now I’m a slave
like all the others
