needles and pins pierce my heart with their rusty spears
like my heart being scooped out and placed on a platter
set as this disgusting sight beating ever slowly before your flaming eyes

looks can kill
every glimpse from you tears my heart a little more
leaving a hole in my chest, for me to cave in to
the blood staining your teeth white
posing as your sweet tasting lipstick

stapled emotions to this mattress
my mouth is dry and duct taped shut
but the words are stamped on my forehead
crawl into my pores and make yourself comfortable
feel what i'm like on the inside
an insect crawls in the desert

slept fourteen hours
eyes are burning
like holes in me draining life fluid

one thousand watt light easily attracting you
that kind of seeming intensity shall only burn you
this dim candle light would be more soothing
but the dark glow hurts your pretty eyes
close them and just feel my warmth of candle light

my heart is empty
torn open and bled dry
safety pins
holding me together

staring up at the stars
lying here all alone
dreaming and set on fire
outside of everything untouched by your little world
sick
my heart is empty
