eviscerated i am all the days you choose to ignore

v1
[enter name here]

For you
my heart...
ripped from my chest.
Eviscerated,
I am.
And if I could,
I would plunge my fingers
through my chest
and rip out my heart
and give it to you.
A pulpy mass of morbid diathesis.

In addition to my heart,
there are some small organs
that want to give you:
glands...
sweetbreads...
variety meats.

I'm offering these gifts.
Rare gifts.

I know that
they don't amount to much
in the face of what you've given me.

I've heard these organs
can't survive outside the body
for more than a few hours.
But I'll try to get there as soon as I can.
Whatever happens, it will be on me.

On my heart.


v2

I am the next act waiting in the wings
I am an animal trapped in your hot car
I am all the days that you choose to ignore

You are all I need
You are all I need
I am in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

I am a moth who just wants to share your light
I’m just an insect trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you because there are no others

You are all I need
You are all I need
I am in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

It's all wrong
It's all right
It's all right
It's all wrong
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
