Release Me

In one firm and gentle hand
   she held my heart
while with precision she pricked it
   like a voodoo doll.

I grabbed an iron thorn
   and pierced deep into my chest
   at the point that said Release Me,

but all I got was a gaping wound
   that gushed rivers of blood and despair,
and she cried from the pain
   of a withered hand.

Quickly!
Water these words with bitter tears of betrayal.
I think I will never love again
   and soon will die.
