self administered surgery
I recently went through surgery
no anesthesia
i need to feel the pain
so i could never forget
i took a scalpel to the part of me that houses my heart
blood running down my chest
my hand searching for my heart
only to find a black hole
an empty void
deep enough to swallow the whole world
I decided that instead of living life trying to fill that void,
I'd live life cold
so I took a rock and put it where my missing heart once was
