Close Your Heart

Touch her skin

And watch it bleed

Taste the words

Injurious seed

Naked walls

Cold, piercing light

Left to rot

This starlit night

Harmful lies

Tied round her neck

In the eyes

All life has drowned

Little feeble one

Close your heart

You have shown faith again

Close your heart

Look away this time

Close your heart

Shut your feelings down

Close your heart

A new start won’t bring her back

Touch her heart and it turns black
