I'd like to tie a tourniquet <br />around your wounded heart <br />and watch until the blood <br />stops dripping <br />then I would cut away the mangled mass <br />of decaying vessels that hang <br />below the pulsing mound of life. <br /> <br />Perhaps then you could begin, <br />begin to feel, begin to love, <br />begin to live.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-s-remove-your-rotten-heart/
