Thinking about it for quite some time
and having waited until they were all quite done 
she finally picked it up
It wasn't quite the vibrant, warm and deep colour she remembered it to be
It was dusty, and she even found some shards of glass embedded in its soft tissue
Some crevices had formed between the ventricles 
It's time to stop letting others wring out your heart, she thought, as she studied  her organ
palpitating irregularly
