Rescue Me

My heart's broken, 
and so it rots;  
The flesh is worn, 
and torn in spots,
Ripped right open,  
but still not dead, 
Just testing for 
thoughts in my head.
Now, harshly so, 
I must conclude, 
That you can't feel 
the way I do;
But It's okay, 
I know that now,
You're just another 
in the crowd. 
And even though 
it hurts to see
The memories 
of you and me,
I must live on happily, 
Without any rescuing.
