We're only bones
A skeleton, a shell
engineered
to walk
run
sit
stand
And our hearts
they're only cardiac tissue
and
chambers with
valves to pump blood
through our arteries and veins
which are only pipes to carry nutrients
everywhere else.
Our eyes are only apertures
with which we can distinguish over
ten million colors
We are scientifically perfect machines
Built to last, built to survive
to reproduce
to die.
So how do we explain everything else?
The purpose of someone's eyes is not to make you fall in love with their beholder.
The purpose of the heart is not to create a lullaby for your lover to fall asleep to.
The purpose of our bodies is not to be a haven for another person's soul.
And
yet
they
are.
