Demolition (a poem)

leewritespoetryalot

every time you show up

my heart rips itself out of place

so you can’t grab it first.

my organ hides in my ribcage to avoid the graze of your hand

running to my stomach while you ravage through my cavity

destroying what’s left of me

the feeling of love

wanting to be loved

the memories of being happy

feeling so distant

so cold

as they drift away into my bloodstream

you tear at my arteries

looking for a remedy

that will heal your broken heart

you know you won’t find it here

but you search anyway

demolishing my entirety in your path
