To You
Like faded ink, my life fades, too
and runs like water straight to you
and sinks its fangs inside your heart;
spreads poisoned blood from poisoned dart.
Like bleeding soldiers, I shall bleed;
stained scarlet by a sin named greed,
that steals the souls I so desire
and burns the world in crimson fire.
Like specks of sand, so shall I be,
in desert climates – dead like me.
With drying oceans filled with screams
and hopeless minds with hopeless dreams.
Like rays of moonlight, I shall shine –
this morbid, glowing life of mine
shall transform into blinding white,
that floods the world, eclipsing night.
Like broken mirrors, I shall break
and lose the pieces you won’t take,
and reflect all the pain inside:
You’ll see the things I’ve tried to hide.
Like blowing wind, I’ll blow away
like powder – dust – a sifting grey
And when the wind whips past your hair,
Just know it’s me; I’m always there.
