About how i waited like an animal, fattened with "love". and the eventual slaughter of one's heart.


Slaughter

this heart has been slaughtered
fattened up with time
with smiles, with voices, with hugs and kisses
helpless,defenseless, weak and mild
the strike quick and deadly
but some still survived
beating for the same feed that was fed to it
longing for the hugs and the kisses
longing for the butcher to love
it waited so long...so long to die
