You kill me
And I come back.
You kill me again
And I come back again
I don't know Why.
Am I the problem?
Am I the cause?
Am I the affliction,
the recurring pain?
You kill me
And I come back.
You kill me again
And I come back again
The earth rumbles,
Crumbles,
Sending water surging,
Car Sirens blaring,
Dogs barking
Cursing the chill streets' air.
You stare
A still moment;
You're Home.
Thrill, tears of joy fill,
Runs down both
you and I cheeks.
Ill, how do I respond?
I don't understand
What is happening.
The guide is the sun,
What was behind
It wasn't meant for me.
Left behind, alone.
Alone out in the darkness
As the tempest speaks,
Drenching
Down to the muddy ground
Pooling
With nowhere else to go.
I shudder as I walk away,
Drowning
In deathless sadness.
In torture
By your glaring eyes;
I lie down weaken.
Again, I die.
You kill me
And I come back.
You kill me again
And I come back again
