One by One

I peel off my fingernails

I pick off my toes

I pluck out each eyeball

I snap off my nose

I unhinge my elbows

I dig out each lung

I let spill my intestines

I bite out my tongue

I rip off each eyebrow

I twist off my hips

I yank out each canine

I pull off my lips

I squeeze out my liver

I break off my chin

I tear off my ears

I slip out of my skin

One by one go my limbs

And organs and parts

They were used but not loved

So I take them apart

After my body is gone

And disposed of somewhere

Leaving no dreams, worries, memories

Nor a voice in the air

Will someone

Please tell me

If something’s still there?
