Take away my sight
I no longer want to see
I want to be blind to this destruction in the wake  

Take away my ears
I no longer want to hear
I cannot bear to hear the sounds of sobs racking bodies

Take away my tongue
I no longer want to taste
I do not want to taste your sweetness upon my mouth anymore  

Take away my nerve endings
I no longer want to feel
The scratchieness of your face the velvet of your hands

Take away my smell
I no longer want you scent to cling
The one of your cologne and musk of you and you alone
  
Take it all away
For the love of God please!
Make me blind, deaf, numb, and dumb
just take it all away.  make me just a shell
