Sprawled out on the floor
Clenching the syringe
Wished I thought through before
I could have put it to better use

I remember what you said
There were so many emotions
I should’ve removed them instead
Then I’d be empty again

No love and no hate
I wouldn’t feel anything
My heart would sedate
For then I’d be hollow

But I used it for wrong
Pulsing through my veins
So much feeling, so strong
A feeling I do not want

You played with my emotions
You’re why I lay here now
Floating in black oceans
...I never learned to swim
