rot and heel
by jeremy cannon
Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm not,
sometimes my heart heels, sometimes it rots.
I don't know why this has to be me,
I need some help from a higher serenity.
I cherish you in every way,
every minute of every hour, every hour of every day.
I just wish you knew truly how it feels,
when my heart doesn't rot, you're around when it heels.
I wanna .. I wanna know you,
and everything you do,
no matter what it is, I wanna be it, too,
but whenever you're away, I am blue,
I wanna know you.
The cells die off when everything is good,
and the maggots build up, just like they should.
Knowing that, when you turn away,
it's feasting time, and my heart is their tray.
But when your presence returns, the cells build up,
and there's nothing for the maggots, they're all filled up.
I feel so good, like no one else feels,
but I hate to have to live like this, rot and heel.
I wanna .. I wanna know you,
and everything you do,
no matter what it is, I wanna be it, too,
but whenever you're away, I am blue,
I wanna know you.
