I'm not sure you understand Just exactly how I work I'm not normal But then, who is? So let's put formality aside Have at me, uncertified surgeon! Let your knives peel back my skin! Use your blades to cut the organs So you'll see the stuff within In my heart is the place where I keep the love Protected from fiends who like vultures above Wouldst dare to steal my sacred store That will deplete forevermore My liver is a strange one, and yet You'd know what goes inside, I'd bet Therein lies all the things I hate Filtered from life and made to wait Inside the liver, oh so dense To keep the hate from the present tense To keep it all just locked away So I can try to be okay Then in my lungs is icy air That I breathed in, frozen, from your cold stare I thought you were jesting your eyes must be wrong But it turns out you meant it like that one Beatles' song Because I truly did not realize As I gazed deep into your eyes Into the soul that just days before You swore was mine, threw open doors Your eyes this time would shut me out What was this alienation about? But I guess you just snapped and all loving stopped You were still sane, but your toleration popped Which is totally fine and I have no problem knowing That these fractures and breaks had slowly been growing But I thought if we tended the garden of love And forgot all the issues I alluded above That we'd be fine and could just carrry on And though I still believed that you went and you're gone So again, I say unto you, uncertified surgeon! Cut deep into me and pull out my soul My heart's been ripped out, why not seal the deal *Tear out my soul with a smile and a flick And stitch me back up with the thread of past wrongs That each day I might look down and see That what was done was done by me
This italicized portion I may steal and use somewhere else Perhaps in a better poem
