Clarinet Reed

My heart's just a weak

Clarinet reed

Vibrating at your moistened breath

-But it's been neglected however

It's grown mold and has cracked

Now it's missing chunks from its tip

And can barely even make a noise:

Nothing but an airy, spit-filled sound

-Maybe it's choking on the blood

It can't pump from my chest

It's stagnant and useless.
