Tie them to my back
Then I could never hug you

Then you could cover my eyes with paper
Or shut them with some glue
Like you want to see them anyway

Not like you do

Cover my mouth with masking tape
Leave my nose holes clear
Let me breathe for anything

Maybe suffocate my fear

You could tear my ears off
Throw them to the ground
Maybe you could lose them

Either way, I won't hear any sound

Then you could kick me in the stomach
I'd drop down on my knees
No arms to support me

No open eyes for you to bleed

Cut my chest wide open
Rip out my weakened heart
Tear my whole life in two

Just tear me apart

You won't ease my suffering
Just watch me there as I bleed
Crimson rivers flowing

What else do you need?

Take my lungs after all
Fill them up with sorrow
You can close my nose holes now

I still won't breathe tomorrow

Kick me and throw me to the wolves
Take all that you ever will
Make me feel like nothing

I know you'll take from me still

You've deprived me of everything
Nothing left to steal
All the pain you've fed me

All you have left to deal

Grab your lighter for a fire
Torch me to the sky
Sit and laugh while I'm burning

Watch as I melt and die

The embers that will keep you warm
And the ashes of my heart
Always there for you

Even after I'm torn apart

You left my carcass there that night
Moments that we would never share
Took all that was important to me

Like you even care

Well, I still have my arms
And I bless these uncovered eyes
Suck in air through this untainted mouth

Pray for me, my love for you is the next thing that dies

Beautiful poem. Love is a mixed blessing.
