As If I Didn't Need My Heart

I've been gutted this afternoon
Sufficiently hollowed out
As if I didn't need my heart

It no longer pumps
Blood no longer runs
I just sit
And breathe instead

There's a hole in my chest
Not the heart I was promised
And had before

Why does no one notice the blood dripping
Too bad it blends in with my red shirt
But it doesn't really matter
I didn't need my heart anyway

Why would I need to feel
Why would I want to be happy
I don't really need my heart anyway

What if I want my heart anyway...
