With your precision
~ Knife ~
Cut a hole around my heart.
And in your not so gentle way
Pull the life of my existence.

I’ll wince and murmur,
Shout and groan.
But I’ll walk,
A ~deadman~
Right before you.

Wash your hands
By blood of me.
Adrenaline armor
Is all you’ve got.

My heart just beats a little louder.
Dadum, you hear my ticking doom?
To fate of hope
You wish you knew.

I’ll show you if you’ll take a hand
But I’m watching you
From over here.

Its light but you are in the dark…
Open up your eyes,
Your precision cut on me
Is lacking.

- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

like this poem.  Reminds me of a song by Ben Harper called please bleed.  In it he says " please bleed
so I know that you are real
and I know that you can feel."

Phantom Poet,
thank you again! I guess poems about cutting a heart out might stun people and grab attention, lol. I write strange, I know!

craig,
can see how it might remind you. Though, for me, this is about someone who even though they may tear me apart I'll help then and keep fighting. Despite that I'm left half dead. wow I scare myself sometimes lol. thank you much!

Always, Alyssa

Alyssa,

This is gut wrenching. But keep writing it out. Weird is good. How about unique, instead, though?

Much talent, enjoyed,

Hugs and love, Pat

Pat,
thanks, and yes writing does help an awful lot. But I don't think unique cuts it... I'm weird! Its ok though because I don't mind!! Hugs and love to you

Always, Alyssa

very nice. i enjoyed the offbeat subject of the poem immensely, in sort of sick way i guess, as much as you can enjoy a poem about that sort of pain.

inkedgoddess,
guess I got the effect across then honored you'd find it good. And yes, a few kinds of pain... thank you

Noah J,
lol.. always happy when someone is honest, and I guess I just choose weird scenarios to describe the real ones. Its all just symbolic, don't worry! Thank you very much.

Always, Alyssa
