My kind of love

I cut open my chest,
reach into it;
rip the heart out,
and place it into your soft, elegant hands.

Slowly,
I close them.
My heart,
offered to you as a sacrifice.

Accept it.

For what good is a heart,
if it doesn’t have a purpose.

Take a moment.
Look inside of it.

And you will know who I truly am.

I fall,
onto the ground,
bleeding,
gasping for air.

As the last dying breath,
is leaving my body,
know that I have always loved you.

My kind of love - a poem
