The Heart Ain't a Steak

A fictional work

Please do not eat it!

I only have just one.

Please do not cut it with your knife!

It will surely become undone.

Why do you feel the need

To hurt my heart so hard?

Why do you make it bleed?

I’m feeling so very weak...

Yet you kiss me on the cheek

And stab me to the core

I shout out in pain!

You stab again! My cries you ignore!

Why are you so cruel?

What makes you cut my heart out?

Why do you hunger for my suffering?

Am I just your cow?

My heart another piece of meat

That you love to mistreat?

Well remember this!

When you have my heart steak upon your plate

Smothered with the remnants of your so called love

It’s the last part of me you’ll ever taste!

For you’ll have killed me.

I’ll be dead and gone.

Gone like the wind...

A wind that’s cold..

One that freezes...

I hope you choke!

A plate clatters to the ground...empty..

Very dark and intense.. I would say raw but with the obvious reference to meat that might not be in good taste lol ;) Seriously, I could feel the anger, pain and in a sense resignation.. of simply what would never be..xo excellent write..xo

Thanks! I was trying to step into a character of mine when I wrote this piece. I'm glad the intensity came through.
