I never planned on being an organ donor whilst I were still of the
'inhaling variety', but you exiled my heart so far from it's
pre-intended destination.
It appears my trepidation to commit in the beginning held weight,
i now sit here 2 & a quarter pounds shy of my most vital necessity.
The physical effects are taking their toll, a pair of salt culverts now
scorch a relentless river down my face,
and into a forever of ' never again.'
My days have lost their name's, they all answer to the same drum..
" please god, help me get through this day."
I now exist, not un-like an unborn child with foetal posture,
yet with a sickening irony of not awaiting life, rather seeking death.

Those last two lines are right on target. Excellent portrayal of pain. Nice write on a painful subject.

the ending made me shudder..when days are no more than a dismal abyss of infinite loneliness and memories stuck on repeat, the beating of our hearts seem to mock us.

'And the bough breaks....' an incredibly strong sense of self here and it seems, the direction you are heading. I don't think I could have defined loss any better....it almost feels as though you have intervened my very own thoughts...A sucessful write in this readers opinion simply due to her ability to look beyond the word level and feel every ache....Spirit

Without the heart it doesn't seem like there is much to live for...yet here we are anyways. Heart breaking.

gutted and laid to rest. .. . yout ook the fear of not only moving on, but 'how in the hell' do i exist without a fierce beat to my soul? when you look around, and everything has become bland, tepid, everydayness- --including the soul's self...they say the he/art is just a metaphor; a catch-all image for our wants, etc. .. you made it a whole microcosm of discovery/recovery. .. . and yet part of this seems almost self.inflicted [obviously] with the 'donor' reference...or at least, a hint of supineness...kill me now, get it over with.that ending couplet; kills....wicked cruel and raw; great stuff. +ness+
