Heartbeat ringtone

The veins in my arms
Have been ripped out
One by one
My butterfly heart
Had his wings plucked off
And now he rolls 
Everywhere. 
I don't fly anymore. 
Flights of fancy 
have been canceled, 
And all unnecessary smiles
Nixed. 
I wake up with an anvil 
On my chest,
And I put it into my bag
Just so that I can carry on. 
I feel like a zombie 
In living skin
Very confused,
Because zombies are used 
to being dead;
I don't know where this life comes from.  

Somehow even without my veins
my heart is beating.
