I have a ragged heart
Would you like to see it?
Its right here in my chest
Would you like to feel it?
Take this scalpel I have here in my hand
Mark my breast with a bloody 'v'
Yes just like those ones you see
On the TV or in a movie.
You'll cut my flesh but I won't mind
I'll smile as you cut deep inside
And in their you'll see my ragged heart
Beating loud, holes wide apart
With veins so thin you could thread them
Skin so thin you could see right through it
Beat so strained you could race and win
A heart so ragged you could patch it.
I don't mind if you cut my chest
My ragged heart is quite the best
Would you like my heart in your hand?
Don't be shy now, go and demand!
A collection of poems and short stories, from a long time ago and from today. Some are light hearted, others are more serious, some are simply extracts from larger pieces of ficiton I am writing.
