Heart, Please stop pounding,
Stop reminding me that I am real.
Stop the flow of purity
I do not deserve such respect.
Knees, please give out
Beneath me I wish to lay
Take me out at my trunk
I do not need to stand.
Eyes, please close forever
I cannot see the beauties offered
They are invisible in darkness
I do not need to see.
Hands, please ball into fists
Drive yourself full force
Deep into the hardened ground
I do not wish to touch.
Body, please fall down,
Hands and knees in dirt
Eyes unused, heart slowing...
Already, I'm forgetting how to feel.

Heart, Please stop pounding,
Stop reminding me that I am real.
Stop the flow of purity
I do not deserve such respect.
Knees, please give out
Beneath me I wish to lay
Take me out at my trunk
I do not need to stand.
Eyes, please close forever
I cannot see the beauties offered
They are invisible in darkness
I do not need to see.
Hands, please ball into fists
Drive yourself full force
Deep into the hardened ground
I do not wish to touch.
Body, please fall down,
Hands and knees in dirt
Eyes unused, heart slowing...
Already, I'm forgetting how to feel.
