Dead I Am

Dead I Am

 ‡

This empty heart beats for no one

Yet it goes on drumming senselessly

Broken to pieces can't be undone

What a waste of space and energy

 ‡

It goes on pumping day after day

Red liquid life against my purpose

But a promise I made not to get in the way

A promise I shall keep no matter how strenuous

 ‡

Although dead I am through and through

I'm bound to my words with chains of trust

More pain and tears I must endure

Till this heart knows that I'm nothing but dust
