So we can weep together

Lets go outside

And dig a grave, in the mud and ice

To bury all the lost smiles in

As the cold numbs our fingers

and the clay sticks under our nails

Lets look into each other’s eyes and cry.

Paint my cheek with the mud on your hands

Press your broken heart into my chest

Lets preform an operation

With razor blade or scalpel knife

We will cut each others chests open

With precision

Crake our ribs

Carefully peal back the skin and flesh

I will reaching my bare hand deep inside you

pushing

through,

wrapping my palm

around the hard pit of pain

I will grab it, tug

wrenching it out of your body

feel the ripping myself

we will scream as it comes out

you will look at me with surprise

like one shot by a bullet

how could you?

You really did?

I will hold it over my head

soft flesh still hanging

and scream it up to the sky

Then bringing it down to my heart I will cradle it.

Wash it with my tears

Now you reach into my chest and grab mine out too

And hold it

Like a golden tender thing

Treasure

Then look up at my eyes again

Surprised, we did it

And we are safe
