We were neutral you say

We weren't involved

You stood by while my heart
was torn out
and nailed to a post

And said nothing

Now you are back
And say we should be friends

I still love you

Of course we can be friends

First, you must retrieve my heart
from the post where it is nailed
mend it as best you can
with kind stitches and care
then crack my chest with a saw
and retractors, sewing my heart
back into place, close my chest
with the wires through the sternum
and turn off the heart lung machine
and see if my heart beats

And you will see when I open my eyes
that we are friends again
