Adiós by Tsitsi Gumbo

sitting....
heart on lap
bloody heart
bludgeoned..sliced
torn..crushed..
my own heart
I let you do it
I held your knifed hand
each deep thrust, I saw..

it beats still....
feeble quiet beats
at least it beats...
and grow they will
my heartbeats...
you'll hear them
only from a distance
never again in your hands.

bye bye heartbreaker!
