Heart

My friend stabbed herself in the heart today
the blood ran down her chest and across her belly
it formed a self authoring suicide note
almost black and sort of treacly in a spidery scrawl
probably nanotech of some sort
amazing what they can do these days
she chose arachnoid stylised helvetica size 14 bold no underlines
why? it is beyond me
I always thought she was a calibri kind of girl
but I guess that says something about me doesn’t it?
not knowing
“I was feeling heartless,” the words said.
at this point I wanted to puke
(sic) because she was the most full of heart person I knew
I don’t know anyone like that anymore
“I needed to know if there was anything in there.
The cuts on the arms and legs just weren’t doing it.
I decided I’d have a stab in the dark.
At least there would be a some sort of real outcome,
at least I would find out one way or another.
If you are reading this it means I am dead -
and I had a heart afterall!”
