Without My Heart

I have to get you out of my system...

I asked you if you could live without a finger?
You said you could!
Could you live without a limb?
I believe you could!

But could you live without your heart?

Like the air I breathe...
You're the one I've always looked forward to seeing
The one I enjoyed laughing with,
Play and cuddle with.

Your tired feet I'd massage for you
I'd set your bath water and cater to you
I'd cook your meals and iron your clothes
And keep you warm when you had a cold nose

You became a part of my inner system…
So when you lose what becomes your heart
How do you live without that?
