Here lies my heart In an open casket Asleep in an endless slumber It’s appearance so badly mangled All that remains is the pulse to keep it beating. No one came to this open casket. All but one person showed up. The one who put my lies in its place. There lies me. Helpless Alone Vulnerable. And yet at the same time now it is made of steel. Still can you still? bend it but the contour won’t be shattered Not this time. Here lies the last love I’ll truly wanted. All others will have meaning you truly are. The one that got away For I want to suffer no more And end this constant pain. The casket is closed. No one, too, open it But you. Return the key to its proper owner And if it isn’t you, pass it along. Don’t make me wait any longer. This life is filled with space. Empty space No matter matters This void is and endless pit.

Here Lies.
Here lies my heart In an open casket Asleep in an endless slumber It’s appearance so badly mangled All that remains is the pulse to keep it beating. No one came to this open casket. All but one person showed up. The one who put my lies in its place. There lies me. Helpless Alone Vulnerable. And yet at the same time now it is made of steel. Still can you still? bend it but the contour won’t be shattered Not this time. Here lies the last love I’ll truly wanted. All others will have meaning you truly are. The one that got away For I want to suffer no more And end this constant pain. The casket is closed. No one, too, open it But you. Return the key to its proper owner And if it isn’t you, pass it along. Don’t make me wait any longer. This life is filled with space. Empty space No matter matters This void is and endless pit.
This ones a bit dark. You can read it from top to bottom or bottom to top.
