No One 

In one swift movement a knife dashed into my heart. 
Suddenly the shock freezes my will - and no one can see.

Numbness captures my breath. 
I sob my last - and no one care to see.

The Blade sinks swiftly into my being. 
I fall within myself - and no one wishes to see.

The pain is so great from the knife within my chest. 
I an bleeding within - and no one will see.

It digs deep into my heart with every word spoken. 
Slashing my heart to pieces - and no one wants to see.

A warm gush of blood flows from my chest. 
To cool upon the ground - and no one turns to see.

Darkness envelopes me until only the blade I see. 
Ice cold steel bonds to my flesh - and no one shall see.

I am dead and yet cannot die. 

My heart is now the blade within me 
Welded fast to my breast bone - and no one do I see.
