Can you please not leave me?
All my life, I fear
The moment that I’m alone
Nothing is forever here
I see everything go astray
If all of my ropes do tear
Wherever will I go?
Should I lose everything I never had
How would I stop myself from falling
Alongside my joy, without a warning
How to suppress my rivers of tears
My howls, my screams
How shall I erase the hurt
I cry, I cry what can I do
But watch as I’m drained
I raise a finger, nothing changes
Day and night are in a race
Time keeps running, gaining pace
It doesn’t stop for me who struggles
It ignores that I try to hold it in place
It doesn’t stop for me who falls
It doesn’t mourn whoever dies
It doesn’t halt when I’m suffering from invisible scars
Splinters of glass pierce all my weak spots
Don’t go
I beg for help but you keep running
I fall to my knees behind your back
You don’t turn around, as my vision goes black
Blood starts dripping from my aching body
As I fall over once again
Lie in a pool of soaking red
You disappear behind the clouds, the mountains, the stars and the pain
As even my blood to leave me desires
I follow your lost traces to places beyond my sight
A single sound escapes my lips
A breath, shared with nothing but cold air
As even the air around me refuses
To oblige
A plea that to a cry swells
A cry that grows violent as a scream
A scream that converts into me
That tails me wherever I go
My heart and mind and soul it fills
The only memory of your departure
The only cut unable to scar
Time, you heal any wound
Except the one you bestow
If time’s the foe
The dagger slicing your skin
What will then console you?
Time
It keeps my wound fresh
Doesn’t heal me, but pours salt every now and then, on each slash
Eternally
