No Deeper

Words today fail me My hurt left inside Wrapped into red blanket Suffocating to die It would not work Will it? Not telling what pains But how can I say it When it’s an unfamiliar lane I don’t know the end Nor the start of this path What has happened to me To my heart Why it hurts so much For things unknown I have not dared to see What was shown The fear shackles my skin Rattles my bone Why choose a companion In the end you leave alone Bitter taste of the truth Lies on the tongue unfazed A sting to remind Reality in misty haze Bottomless well of sorrow It pulls you in fast Dive no deeper than that it is here to last.
