Decomposition Poem by Stefanie Fontker

I have watched
My heart decompose
Nature's curse upon me
Sitting waiting
Life is slow without it
When my heart
Is following its
Most natural course
Could I revive it?
Perhaps, but is that
Truly what I want?
I have watched
Scavengers feed upon
What was once part of me
Such a brutal sight
Why couldn't I feel it?
Apathy! Apathy!
I have been infected
Destroyed to the core
I have watched
Her eat my heart
Right down to the core
And dropp what was left
Onto the floor-
It is now that
I feel a burning fire
As I clutch my chest
I doubt she has ever
Felt the sensation
Of true love
But who am I to say,
When my heart has been
Stolen away?
