Am I️ alive?
Functional?
If so,
It doesn’t feel like I️t.
Empty and dark
Counting the clock
How much longer?
You ready?
Here’s my body plant your seed and leave.
Leave me with the scars but silent the pain with your touch.
Who’s touch?
I️ don’t know any of you
But some how I️ find myself next to you
Why am I️ here?
Why are you here?
My body my soul my heart
Empty
Just like my car that’s parked
Am I️ live?
You heal me so well
But why in the moment?
Where’s my forever?
Oh its just my never.
You’re here for one thing
It’s not me, but
My twin he looks just like me lying there
Senseless and emotionless
Here’s my body take care of it
It’s the only thing I️ have left
I️ know I️m your feast
But feed slowly as I️ dissolve like a leaf
If I️m alive..
