Assault of the Heart

As I touched him,
thoughts of him

ripped and clawed at my heart.
Rip,
rip.
These thoughts of him
dragged their talons

across our memories.
Rip,
rip.
They cut through my heart
and gouged all of our kisses

to pieces.
Rip,
rip.
They scratched and they scathed
until they tore you

right out of my chest.
Rip,
rip.
Thoughts of him
consumed every ventricle

until my heart

Forgot about you.
