How Many Times
How many times I killed you
how many times I died
how many times I fought others
with you in my unconscious mind
how many times I went crazy
trying to unfold the lies
which I had to tell myself
in old times...
How many times I run away from places
when they felt like home
and I wrote the same poems
and listened the same songs
and I felt the same fear
of when you left me alone
not knowing what to do
not knowing where to go...
How many times I tried
to gain your ancient love
by pleasing everybody
until I broke
and I found myself empty again
inside my shattered walls
inside a fragmented life
that it was long gone.
