Unhurriedly

rain splatters against the earth
if the heart could liberate tears like that rain

broken and bleeding
it should be easy to leave this place

skin ripped from the body
muscle exposed
rotting in spots

eyes fluttering
whispers of agony drift from the depths
despair heavy in the blood stanched air

yet the fragile mind remains
to replay the images
that lead to this place

buried beneath the earth
fresh air spent
the broken and bleeding heart
persists to beat unhurriedly
