Stake Your Claim Poem by nikki hays

Cut me
Come on
Right here
Center chest
Don’t half do the job
Do it properly
Tear my heart out
Taste your victory
Smell the sweet scent of my blood
Taste it on your lips
Savor it
Why don’t you do it?
Why don’t you drive the cold blade?
Deep into my breast
You've already taken the prize
You’ve already stolen my life
Feel it
The final beat
As I die in your hands
Euthanist you are
Taking my life
Cut to the quick
End it I beg you
Rip my blood red
Barely beating
Almost frozen heart
Right from my chest
You could kill me more humanely
Take a gun and blow out my brains
It would be quick that way
Watch now as I lie here
Lifeless
Breathless
Dying
This is your victory
Why don’t you stake your claim?
