Reflections -

A struggle with death’s embrace

Blood is covering my face again

Thick swollen lips try to ask why

Why I had never…

Long forgotten memories

I am drowned in it

The search for love led me

Through paths of abuse and hate

I’m counting

The seconds till the end

I spit out what’s left inside of me

Thick swollen lips try to ask why

Why I had never…

Disguise the truth — wordlessness

But this trauma won’t fade

Painful enigma follows me

Maybe I could have been

Someone

The silence before the pain

And all endeavours in vain

Thick swollen lips try to ask why

Why I had never…

A struggle with death’s embrace

Blood is covering my face again

Thick swollen lips try to ask why

Why I had never…
