Little Red Vessel......

I wish I did not have this heart that I have and I could keep it in a tiny box nice and locked, I hate when I feel when it's out and starts to tick when it's tocked.

Sometimes I wonder why god gave it to me, it's almost like I'd be better off with out it cause the pain it causes makes it hard to breath

I wonder if we could live with out having a beat in our chest, like if God could have designed us a lil different from the rest.

Maybe if we were all made of some sort of iron or steal, then maybe we wouldn't have to feel what we feel

I wonder sometimes how things would be if we didn't ever have to feel love, and I wonder if it's the same down here as it is in the heavens above

I don't understand why we are made to feel so many different feelings when it comes to this lil red vessel, do you think we'd be numb or confused cause them are the questions I wrestle

Maybe confusion is better then pain, but I guess that would be a question for and from the brain, or maybe with out the heart we'd all be so lame and just plain, I think my heart is driving me insane.

Too bad we couldn't make a deal with our creator even for just a short while, to take out my heart just to see how it would be for awhile

How it would be to live without it without all the tock and the tick, I would definitely sign up on that list of the next heart- less to pick

To go through life not ever having to cry never able to feel the deception of a lie, no more asking god why, to bad it's this beat in our heart that keeps it all alive, and I guess to feel less we just have to wait till we die.
