Surgical Searching

The head no longer sees the heart

The heart no longer feels the life

Each beat bleeding more than the last

No reason left to sheathe the knife

 

Each cut closer to the vein

Shed the skin to find the real

Surgically sure with each stroke

That there's nothing left inside to steal

 

With the sinews of flesh the clues are left

Of the truth I'm digging to find

That the head and heart no longer matter

When the eyes of the soul have gone blind

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is *not* suicidal ideation, nor a "cry for help". Please don't leave any comments about it being such.
