Small, teary-eyed shadow
I see her sitting there
on a rock, where her name is carried
Letters, dancing marionettes laughing, an irregular writing.
Black hue around the eyes
Her lips tight, she looks at the waves.
He teared-up look touches the water
It pokes around in memory
Life is scattered pieces
A lost image, sailing, looking for parts of consolation.
The only solid hope in this melancholic moment
Is the sea, it's the one that calms her.
She looks back out memories
Her distant dreams, all dark images
From a bleeding life. How has everything
Damaged in a moment.
Upon a fatal decision that bore her innocent
Mistakes in the yesterday.
Sorrow, disappointment
And confusion.
She doesn't want to remember the wounds,
but cannot erase them.
The wild waves hit the rock, manically.
Syringes before her eyes, bruised limbs
Speechless, softy trembling within her cold darkness.
Lonely,
simply trying to escape her own thoughts
But they won't let her go.
But they don't let her go.
Like wild creatures they take her away,
she can no longer defend herself against their shadows
And gives up she to joyless images,
to this pain, to this fate,
condemned in phobias and anger.
