Sharp slivers left behind.. Drops of blood ripple the waters of the dieing. An open wound.. Deep but not seen.. Wooden spears in the echoes of this beating heart.. As hopelessness shatters dreams.. Ever so slowly drowning in the bottomless black of humanities blood filled ravine... The heart always beating... Yes, always bleeding.. Yet never never seen.

The broken heart begins with splinters, one by one. Until the deed is done. Very good, Erica.
