Jellyfish

I made a wish to feel nothing
Have you had a wish come true?
I thought I could survive it
When I had my heart removed
I used to think I had a voice
And with it something to be said
The words are gone now, and forgotten
I’m alone here in my head
No one ever told me
Being numb is worse than pain
When all the tears are dry
And no blood flows in these veins
I made a wish to feel nothing
I begged for a reprieve
Now I’m a bag adrift in this never-ending sea
Trying to remember how it ever felt to breathe
