I Would Break You

I would if I could
break you...
I would take you down
and bury you
in the places you only
dream about.
I would pry open
with finger-locked precision
the void that is your chest
and I would show you
where your heart
should be.
I would hold your head
in vice-like claws
and through your eyes
try and determine what
fills the space in your brain
where emotion lives.
I would press my lips
to your mouth
and try to breathe you
into the world again,
my heat would melt down
the ice you shiver in
and I would make you
fall into the vast chasm,
the hell-fire chamber
of the one four-letter word
that does not pass your lips.
