One by One
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?
