Tortured

You left me waiting
pain searing and piercing
rending the heart muscle useless
and yet still beating within my breast
organ of torture, burning a hole 
through the chest

Blood courses through the artiries
pulsing through my ear drums
clammy palid skin , turns into
scorching , scarlette flesh

streaked in sweat , culminating
in tear stained pillows and
bitter regret
