 open heart surgery
I'm in need
of surgery
it's an emergency
dear God
somebody help me
my heart is
racing
perhaps it's just
failing
it's been working
so hard
too hard
for too long
that now
something has gone
wrong
it's pumping
but it's not
beating
it's lifeless
completely dead
but full of such
potential
that it's almost
sinful
for it to go to waste
but it's useless
worthless
a priceless jewel
that has been
shattered
hindered
tainted
and now
I'm on the list
waiting to die
waiting to live
I need this
surgery
I want a heart
that pumps
and beats
one that is whole
and not tearing
at the seams
it can be a diamond
in the rough
because with enough
love
it will be
a diamond
suitable for
me
