HEARTLESS

My heart fell out as I journeyed here

So in this moment I’m sure it’s pretty clear

That I am heartless!

The emptiness I feel is pleasant I must say

I feel so much relieved that

That part of me is gone; my pains have faded away

Into nothing

Makes me feel like running

Across this meadow

So let the birds sing…

Their sweet melodies fill up this hollow

Left…

In my chest

And leave me happy

Calm and content

I won’t bother looking for and fitting back my heart

If by any chance, you come across it,

Do with it as you please

For half my life it has played a bitter part

Serving me dark and inviting delicacies

But if by accident I find it somehow,

I’ll lay it up on a silver tray

And slide it in the refrigerator

I’ll let it freeze…

The bloody thing!

I’ll let it turn to stone

Bloody…cold…stone!

And when I find that it’s solid enough

I’ll take it out and hold it up high

In line

With my shoulders,

Hurl it against this world’s wall

And watch it blast into smithereens

So wherever you are now, my heart

Stay far, far away from me

For if again you dare cross my path

I’ll crush you down, down to dust with glee!!
