A cruel heart

 


Brain held captive

by my weary heart.

Ransom fee

too high a price,

can I spread the cost

in instalments across life?

Or do I have to pay up front

to try to pry apart

the vice like grip

my lonely heart has over my wits?

 

Bound and gagged,

tortured brain

covered in paper bag,

no hope glowing

through the neurons,

no oxygen flowing

from disconnected lungs.

The beating starts to lag,

but my brain is left in a cage

outside in the pouring rain,

and the flowers beside me

are starting to sag.

 

Tracing the fault lines

of my fractured mind.

You find the weak spot

and start to mine.

Digging deeper, not a worry

that the edges are crumbling,

You keep going

as bits of brain

come tumbling.

All that is left

a flatline

and the mechanical sound

of a machine grinding me down.

 

Macabre drive by

takes place

a later time and date.

A parade

of my last remaining

drops of clarity.

Brain held in a glass case

for all to see.

A funeral procession

for my broken sanity.

As once again I listen to my heart

instead of the truth of reality.
