Slice

Slice open my soul

Let it bleed right here

Onto the page

Soaking through the lines

The spaces and the margins

Leave it all here

To tell its sorry tale

I won’t need it anymore

My useless heart

And broken mind

Were gone a while ago

The soul was all I had

All that was left

It’s no longer enough

To sustain anything

Much less a life

Much less a life lived

Without you
