This Wasn't What I Percieved...- by: Unknown Forgotten


Take spoon in hand
Place near heart
Press with extreme force upon skin
Until spoon penetrates flesh
Proceed to scoop out heart

Here we go again

I say these instructions aren't so good as they seem
For instance
Someday, you may need that heart again

"Hahahaha" He laughed with extreme force
Opening up vocal cords that had never been before
"This isn't anything" he screamed
"This I didn't forsee!!"

He woke before dawn
He put his shoes on
Grabbed his hammer
And smashed all the lights in his house


"This isn't the day I concieved,
This isn't what I believed!"
Rolling wind rushed through the door
Bringing with it sounds of horror

"Hahahaha" He laughed hysterically
The sink began to overflow
Hot water ran over his bare feet and toes
Scolding every inch of his ankles and below

He ran to the kitchen
Water splashing as he went
Dove to the utensils counter
And grabbed the beggest spoon he could

Sprawling cook books upon the table
He flipped page after page
Until he found the instructions that mattered
They read simply:

"Take spoon in hand
Place near heart
Press with extreme force upon skin
Until spoon penetrates flesh
Proceed to scoop out heart"

"Ahahahaha!! Here we go again!!"
_____

Scoop after scoop he dug it out
"These instuctions aren't very good" he whispered
As blood dripped from his mouth
"They hurt so much more than I percieved."
