Emotional Suicide

Last night I died
I gave up this mess and I died
I committed an emotional suicide
I wrote out my crap list, put my conscience on the shelf
Pushed aside my help ads, because a dead woman don't need no help
I took along rope, tied a long knot, and tightened it around my emotions long neck
My love struggled, my compassion screamed, as my body began to twitch and 
sweat
My heart hardened, there was emptiness where there was once love before
No love, No compassion, no emotions, not here not anymore
No emotion can be produced; no feeling can be born
Here lies a soul all battered and torn
Just like a cold grave, I felt nothing, i couldn't love, I couldn't cry
And nobody that saw me today, know that last night I died
Last night I died
I gave up this mess and I died
I committed an emotional suicide
