my limbs are so cold
my body failing to produce body heat
yet my heart still beats
my breaths are shallow
my lungs collapsing in on themselves
yet my heart still beats
my stomach always hurts
my intestines rotting from the inside out
yet my heart still beats
my mind is fuzzy
my brain unable to function while my body fails
yet my heart still beats

i am dead
a rotting corpse of a person
yet my heart still beats

i am dead
but i am alive
