Poetry // A Sadists Entertainment

You took my heart
You took it with both hands
Nurtured it
Fed it
Loved and adored it
Made it feel things it hadn’t before
The healthiest ones heart could be
Injected it with love
with intimacy
with warmth
Almost bursting at the seams
Like a juicy tomato
A full tyre
An overflowing pool

And then in an instant you took all of that away
You took a pin
And burst it.

How silly of me to not realise
You didn’t raise it well out of love
You raised it well, so that it’s demise would be all the more exhilarating
Like a lamb to the slaughter
A sadists entertainment
