One By One

One by one you break my bones I see only the black pit of pain Encompassing my world leaving nothing My screams get lost in e darkness Echoing through the pit getting swallowed Piercing my skin you drain my blood The pain fades and it’s replaced with cold Peeling away my flesh you leave me bare Taking away my organ one by one All except my sit beating heart It starts to pick up it’s pace, beating faster Pumping blood that’s not there Keeping alive a body that no longer exists With your steady hands you cut it open Peering inside, searching so hard You don’t notice me float out I watch you search the empty shell Looking over every piece, finding nothing Satisfied with your diligence You begin to put the pieces back Resetting the bones, sewing new flesh Making the broken pieces into a whole It has my big brown eyes And my loud full laughs But it’s heart no longer beats I’m no longer there, I’ve already gone Searching for something else to fill A vessel worthy of my warmth And of my life
