Bleeding Heart

I clutch at my bleeding heart

as it beats inside my chest

wishing I could take it out

wishing I was dead

I just want to stop the pain

trapped inside my head

the one that comes from my heart

the feelings that I dread

I wish I could just turn it off

the emotions that I feel

they are what's killing me

they are what is real

for just once

I don't want to feel

I don't want to care

I don't want to be real

I want to be numb, indifferent, detached

I don't want this heart

beating in my chest

I want it all to stop

the emotions

always fighting in my brain

they are slowly driving me insane

I just want it to disappear

the good isn't worth all this pain

so please take away my heart

I have nothing left

to gain

except for releasing

my agonizing pain
