Stranded


Stranded in space
My flesh begins to atrophy
Dying but cannot die
Crying but cannot cry
Screaming at me
Staring at the scene
Left after the disaster
The catastrophe
You
Yelled your insults at me
With Ribsplitter and scream
Took my heart out of the cavity
Ripped apart with a surgeon’s knife
Still bleeding held to the sky
Destroyed me with deepest love
Deepest depravity
How you knew just where to cut
I don’t know
But your words defied gravity
Entered my orbit
Emptied my world
Left me to die
In totality
