143. Fatal Self Surgery Poem by Jaden Knight

Wow... that was spine chilling. Very vivid, gory imagery! The blood, and description of your own heart out of your body... You never cease to amaze me with the pictures you draw with your words! You made an excellent poem and picture of heart break. Scary/painful good job!

Wow... that was spine chilling. Very vivid, gory imagery! The blood, and description of your own heart out of your body... You never cease to amaze me with the pictures you draw with your words! You made an excellent poem and picture of heart break. Scary/painful good job!

the detailed imagery is great, gory, but gory great!

More of a brain operation perhaps than a heart removal, but the point is clear... Love can hurt. Having survived two divorces myself, I can testify that the main lesson I have learned from both experiences, is that in not loving the other enough to let them go without making them the scapegoat for our pain, it seems that we merely showcase the inadequacy of our love for them. I wasn't there John, only know what you have shared, but for me the healing only started when I began to love myself enough that another's love was just the icing on the cake and not the cake itself. Best wishes for a speedy recovery! : -)

Quite ghastly and terrifying. Good write.

I like this poem very much. It reminds of how I would have done anything for this guy I liked and I was hurting myself in the process and by the time I did real damage I realized too late that it would never work out.

I am a huge fan of Poe, and this reminded me of him.

WOW! it actually was a bit chilling, as sara hernandez said (twice; below) . i've already sent it to MyPoemList. when are you making it available on DVD? ? yeah, i know, i shouldn't make fun of a sad situation. sounds as though the person who walked out the door did a hatchet job on you before you even picked up the scalpel. well, maybe it wasn't you speaking. i did have a small almost-laugh before or along with the first little chill-moment. wow. let me read it again. thanks for sharing. bri :) p.s. i especially enjoyed (at the speaker's expense) : worse than a thousand bees the pain and: my hands are slippery with all the blood but it only delays me for a minute before they are all in a heap with the rest and: there seems nothing special about my heart dull red and slowly dying when once it shone and was filled with your love ................................................ move on, old man. bri ;) this reminds me of the job i had years ago as an operating room technician, though i only saw a human heart once, beating inside its protective sack (pericardium?) .
