Stamina

Did you rip out my sternum?
On your way to inspect my heart

I feel like someone mauled me,

tore me right apart

There's blood on the counter

a spleen left by the drawer

Maybe that's my liver

lying on the floor

Not that it matters

Here in shatters

wanting more

If you do decide to come back 

I'll be waiting

like before

I'm sure you didn't mean it

I'm sure it was by mistake

You just wanted to see it

The beats my heart might make

Did you ever reach it?

that deep and wretched thing,

see that it is in fact intact

albeit, hanging by a string

It could withstand your flogging

It could withstand your pain

But, damit, if it wasn't too much

to withstand you walking away

So I guess we'll be here waiting 

my heart, my parts, and me

If you happen to come back again

Yes, this is where we'll be

Hoping for your presence 

pining for your touch

Praying that this time

We aren't deemed to be too much
