Scalpel

Carve me up
Like I've always wanted
There's still room for you to decide
It freezes the knife to your hand
Once an incision is slit into my chest
Trim away the dead
Throw away the excess
Wipe away the frost
Blood smile and bright deep heart
Diligently
Slow
Careful
It's nice and warm now
Circle dark eyes
Tears bleed down to the white sheets
Eyes are empty but bright

Stop

Raise high
Above your head
Glinting steel
Blade sharp as betrayal
"This hurts me more that it will hurt you"

Then

Plunge plunge plunge
Stab
Rip it all out
Thrust
Submerge until spurting
A gaping hole leaves room for you to decide
"It's all for the greater good"
Throw away to rot with the rest
