Even should I rip every nerve from my flesh

Even should I rip every nerve from my flesh,

Will I still feel this agonizing pain?

For I am left to lay here, alone without an option

Until this illness is taken from me.

 

Oh do I have empathy for prisoners in their cells

Their minds not quicker than flesh

In the same manner I am bound here to brood

To soak within my own torment.

 

I remember the days with your fingers through my hair

Watching over me, caretaking.

But now not a soul has ne'er an interest in me

For all they know, I could be dead.

 

Alas, yes the thought has been planted, yet,

The soil around strangles it.

For if it were not for that rich soil that you,

Are not a part of, it would bloom.

 

Perhaps I'll draw a line to prove my insanity

Instead of going down the road

And then, maybe, just maybe you will see then,

The iceberg's tip from the beast beast beneath.
