Balm My Pain
He cut off his feet... But still wandered and strayed Then gouged out his eyes... But still burned for the maid Then lopped off one hand... But then saw an issue: He could not complete Sev'ring sin from his tissue .

He Cut Off His Feet...
Jane holds the pencil in her hand She uses it to get the thoughts out of her head Now they won't come out Time for a new tactic She swings her clenched fist at her ear The squelch is felt more than heard Again and again she gouges the thoughts from her brain Thoughts pool dark red in her lap She finally shut them up Eyes closed Relaxed sigh Alone in her head again Jane fades out

Jane's Brain
Crush your bones into a fine powder Twit your mind in little strings, tie and tangle them Gouge out your eyes, lie about sight Shred your limbs, tie them like bows Rip off your nails, glue on plastic Keep lying Keep it up Stop breathing Your lungs are just birthday balloons Only needed for special occations
