take me away

i don't want to stay

in this prison 

that i call a heart

cut off the strings

for it no longer sings

it's much too confused

and broken apart

i need a sedative 

the thoughts are repetitive

of these feelings

i try not to show

pretending i'm okay

is eating me away

as the cut

opens and flows

without retreat

i constantly repeat

to stab myself

in my own heart

I like the urgency the rhyme creates......but I think that considering how desperate the writer feels, some expressive adjectives or adverbs may take the reader, so to speak, "closer to home"......

Once again, thank you for sharing such intimate words....
