Here it is

Here it is.

Here it is
lacerated
needing stitches
bruised
and barely moving

here it is
keeping it for you
there is nothing left
but what i have here

holding it out
on display
looking all around
blood dripping down

pulsing in my hands
cadences getting weaker
pounding softer
with nothing left to give
at the mercy of you
take this shattered gift

here it is
my heart
crippled
and torn apart

the beats getting weaker
the cadence stops
please take my broken heart.
i don't need it anymore.
it won't get me far.
so,here it is.
