Beheading

Off with my head

I don’t need it anymore

All it does is tell my heart

I told you so

Makes me fall further

Down the void

The one created by your back

As it went out the door

The vacuum that I’m in

Without you to give me air

Gravity no longer works

So I’ll just cut my neck

Sever it from my shoulders

And my head will float away

Maybe then I can be happy

Without my eyes to remind me

Of the spaces where

You used to be

Without my ears to hear the silence

In the spaces echoing

With no memory to remind me

OF all the broken things

I could sit here in my body

Heart beating with the rest

No thoughts to process

Or questions left to ask

Just me in the now

That all sounds perfect to me

So bring on the guillotine
