Unwanted Emotions

Sometimes it's better not to feel

I've torn my heart out for you, see?
Look, it's still beating in my hand.
This is a gift for both you and me.

I hope that you can understand,
My need to feel this numb inside,
So please accept my oozing gland.

I might be rather hollow-eyed,
But my outlook is better now
Since all these emotions died.

I'll sew this gaping wound somehow
After chemicals fill that hole
All that this body will allow

Love and drugs will take their toll
Carving pieces of you away
Even stealing your very soul.
