Good Mourning

I will rip out my heart
to save your life
but i'm also a poet
nothing i say will ever mean anything

metaphors make me sound captivating
but this morning i took a big nasty shit
it felt amazing
is that captivating?
is that romantic?

tomorrow they will pull the plug
and you will die
and the people
you love the most
will expend a great deal of
time, money and effort
to forget all about you
