Open Heart Surgery

a broken heart in need of repair

 

Open Heart Surgery

It's probably time, time to check my self in,

my hair's getting long, so are the whiskers on my chin,

sitting here in Disney, lost in Tomorrow Land,

classic signs of depression, feet stuck deep in the sand

today was just another day, the next one just the same,

going thru the motions, pretending, what a shame,

one moment things seem okay, the next one I'm in panic,

the mind is total null and void, guess that means I'm manic

try to shake these cobwebs, find some reason or a cause,

needing open heart surgery, pulse just wants to pause,

feelings are disappearing, becoming locked up deep inside,

nothing really matters now, even though I tried

maybe there is a parallel world, where things work out fine,

but not in this one I'm afraid, can't find connecting line,

just how did this happen, I took my eye off the road,

was bending down to touch someone, then came the overload

sparks and fire, burning desire, this is what I'm finding,

the Sun was way too bright, my eyes succumbing to the blinding,

have no idea where I will go, it doesn't seem to matter,

hope no one feels hate for me, and all my idle chatter

next time around I'll get it right, will I still remember you,

don't see how it could be worse, at least I hope that's true,

unless someone can fix, my heart completely broken,

open heart surgery may be too late, you know I'm only jokin'

great poem. i can really relate to some of the thoughts and feelings in this poem. love the lines "next time around i'll get it right, will i still remember you, don't see how it could be worse, at least i hope that's true" and the part about taking your eye off the road
