they confiscated my last breath
even before i tried to suspire,
now, i breath helium
and it isn't the same.
i will remember your name
they peeled the sheath
of my dishevelled skin
like they take away the innocence
from a homeless kid,
barren i lay on the desert sand
reminiscing the distances i spanned
they tarred my blood
the pristine waters running in me,
tell me, how it was my youth!
i feel a trench in my throat
a restless calling in there afloat
they marred my mahogany;
the last real strings between me and
God. Now, all i see is a sea of sepia,
my age has faded to a mere memory,
what is left of me!
my years in your gallery
but what will you write there
under the history,
the tales of torture?
the songs of fury?
what words will you fill
•
they listened
as i wept,
they let me burn
and stood still...
