Dying Heart



Let me sit here and hope
As my world conveniently falls apart around me.

If I still had a voice
I would say this was unfair.
And have the whole human race
Laugh in my face
For being so naive.

I am a seed.

And when I'm alone
Every silent scream I make
Brings Death halfway for me.
Killing me a little more each time.

If you would just take away this dying heart
that eats away at me like an ulcer
I could go on.

But here it stays
Death's open sore
that I never neglect to salt.
