Would That I Could Discard You
Emotion sickness girl in my heart,
Loved me and left but did not depart.
You stayed with me
Like a grain of sand,
Scratching at me,
A fragment remnant.
Caught in the throat
or wet in the eye,
I wrapped you up,
I hid you inside.
You nest so deep,
So tight in my chest
Growing larger,
Rounder, and polished.
Cover your face,
Remove it from view,
Make me a shell
And I'll enshell you.

Emotion sickness pearl in the heart,
Layer and grow and rip it apart.
Hear you my wish,
Please leave you of me,
Encased in you
Her used memory.
Open my ribs,
Thing I cannot bear,
Harden to stone
She's now in your care.
Take her away,
That last little grain,
Covered by years
To dullen the pain.
Fall out of me
and sink in the ground,
Where I pray you
will never be found.
