I have taken my pieces of sanity and cast them to the winds
Knowing that soon eternal nothingness will reign and I shall be freed
Of this constant wanting never being content with that which I do not have
Feeling that each part of me carries something inherently evil
And so I cast off this skin so that I may not know the want of touch
My hands torn of so that I will never again feel the pull to possess
My legs removed and I will never try to run from this dreary place
My eyes gouged out and I will no longer covet
My ears cut off so that no poetry will I desire to fall from those lips
My own lips cut off so I will never crave the betrayal of an intimate kiss
My entire being ripped to shreds and tossed to bitter winds and yet, I
continue to exist and I can not escape this being.
I have become my own destruction and yet no poison or pain allows me to
forget,
The tears in your eyes that I have branded into my memory,
My soul sold long ago in bits and pieces to strangers far and wide
And when there is nothing left here to take away,
you still linger.
