The amputation


This beating heart must go,
This beating heart is my foe,
This beating heart cries,
This beating heart defies.

Your smile,your eyes,your caprice
No longer will I suffer this disease
With my hands I will wrench
Every memory of your stench
I will pluck and snip and tear
Every single thread we share

I'll burn the rest
I'll do my best
To kill this beating heart
This treacherous thing
This changeling
No sooner will we part

This beating heart still sings,
This beating heart still clings,
This beating heart still stings,
This beating heart is jinxed.

No barbs of mockery
Can pierce this insolence
The sheer incredulity
Of this resistance
When every trick has failed and gone
This beating heart keeps beating on

This beating heart has won
and nothing can be done
This beating heart is yours,not mine
Full of love so divine
Yet you looked away
and killed it that very day.
