I Need Replacements

My arm has stopped working
My brain is shut down
My legs go where they want
My feet have no direction
I need replacements

My hands are calloused
My nose runs and runs
My knees are always bruised
My toes get blisters from dance
I need replacements

My heart is hurting
My soul is aching
My imagination left
My love's run out
I need replacements

I need replacements
But I'm attached.
I like my fingers 
and toes
and bones.

I need replacements
But I am attached
I love my heart
and soul
and mind
and life.

I can't replace them.
They don't just get swapped out.
Maybe my liver, or a leg,
but a broken heart?

I'm not a robot. 
My heart scares me
It beats most of the time
And skips some once in a while
And loves people that it shouldn't 
But I'm attached. 

I need replacements
But I'm attached.

  2. I love this so much, way different from most of the human posts
    "I need replacements
