Almost Gone
I reached into my breast shaking with fear
pulled my heart out
holding it in my trembling hands
I was so amazed to see how little I had left
There was just a tiny bit of flesh pulsing there
Tears started to flow down my face so slowly
One teardrop fell upon my heart, sparkled and shimmered
and slowly sank into what was left of my heart.
Years of such terrible pain and loss had caused my heart
to almost disappear.
With hands shaking violently with grief I placed what was
left of my heart back into me.
Clasping my hands I went down upon my knees,
looking up I prayed to God
"Please let me keep this small part of me
my heart is almost gone,
keep me safe from letting anyone steal what is left of me"

The truly touch sentiment is a bit abused by the halloweenesqe imagery of a beating heart held in ones hands.
Keep writing.
