An Act of Violence

As you slice into me
Through the red shows white
You cut so deep and quickly
My bone shines in the light

I slice into your flesh
Till I can see your bone
Oh! Look at those colors mesh
You’d scream if your lips weren’t sewn

To avoid watching what you do
I attempt to turn my head
But when the hooks threaten to tear me through
I shut my eyes instead

Your attempt to pretend I didn’t rend
Your flesh is making me smile
When I’m done with you, I think I’ll send
This limb home to cause a rile

I can’t scream, or curse, or bite my lip
I resolve to bite my tongue
I stay still, don’t want you to slip
You’ve now exposed my lungs

With your organs now visible, I gaze down
And giggle in pure delight
I notice your eyes are shut, and frown
I decide to take your sight

You pry my eye open and hold it there
Then pull out a tool with a hook
My other eye widens, my nostrils flare
You give me one last loving look

I push in the hook, catch it under your eye
Wonder briefly why you can scream
I pull out your eye, and realize with a sigh
That you have ripped your seams

I can tell that you’re mad at me
For tearing the string from my lips
I realize that the last thing I’ll see
Is your tool with the hook ended tip

I have no time to re-sew your mouth
You’re running quickly out of breath
Things for you are heading South
You’re bleeding out from the hole in your chest

I can no longer see what you do
I rely on hearing instead
I feel something sharp run me through
And discover you’ve chopped off my head

I look upon your mangled corpse
A beautiful work of art
I hear a knock come from the door
I smile, it’s time again to start
