Nothing More

Nothing More

At the centre of my chest

I can feel your heart beat from within my breast

Our love so entwined, and equally as divine

Forever, what is yours is mine

Nothing more than a hollow cavity within my chest

From your heart once beating, I now detest

A love once so wild and free

Nothing more than a distant memory

For all the long walks in the sand

For all the times we wondered hand in hand

When those red bells chimed

I knew we would be forever locked in time

Blood dripped out from within my chest

A heart once whole, now in arrest

A scarlet letter found upon your floor

I am nothing more

Than a blood stain at your door
