directions to love

there's nothing more cliche than the human heart
she said knowingly

wishing I could show her my true heart
I let her perform my autopsy

there's nothing special in here, just blood and vessels
she said, knowing me

atriums and valves, the machines of betrayal,
myocardial

infarction; oh, but disregard this young old heart
it's full of dead arrowheads

shot from stupid's bow

I have nothing new to report
but whatever direction, way leads to way
and finds itself here again

the arrow points and I'll follow
looking for any pill to swallow
my soul frail and hollow

sucking all the poetry out of her kiss
and her tempered coos of bliss
spelled out on my grave in piss
