Autopsy

Autopsy My words are my scalpel My incision precise My organs are splayed My veins bleed ice My mind is the blade My eyes the knife The light there fades My treatise to entice My screams are swallowed By the empty abyss My Heart is hollowed My smile betrays bliss In utterance I wallow My pain I kiss My soul is sallow My flesh bruised by fist My whispers like gallows My mind to dismiss My soul exposed Under the tissue unbound The words are posed To uncover or confound
