My Heart

Rip it from my chest
It's beating has no use if it isn't for you
Rip it so finally I can get some rest
It's existence brings me pain so that's the best thing to do

Take it from me, 
It's presence brings me nothing but distress
Re-purpose it as something useful like feng shui
Perhaps in a different capacity it's uselessness will impress

Destroy it for me, 
Maybe in minute pieces I'll learn to comprehend 
The facets that commonly deceive us, might be clearer
The decryption of a human heart will be the means to an end

Burn it, 
Finally understanding why pain stings and skin bleeds
Brings me not peace... 
Yes clarity is established, but no man can ever accomplish another man's dream without that man
The same way it won't ever beat the same, without you
