The Wontry Winter of Why
In this hope
Where nobody survives
In this place
Where babies wither
And die
All I ever wanted to know
All I ever wondered
About
Disappeared upon your kiss
That last illusion
In
The Wontry Winter of
Why
Fever spreads
Takes another
Victim
And the castle
Can't protect you
Can’t
Stop the slide
The race never
Ends
A futile search for
Infinity
In places that
Eat you
Alive
Pass the salt
Place it inside
The wound
Try to
Smile
While your blood burns
Blisters
Within its
Tortured
Tomb
Now
Ask the question
Where did it go?
Ask the question
A million times
And
You
Will
Never
Know
In this poem
Where thoughts melt
Before they
Concretize
In this life
Where true meaning
Is rarely
Realized
All I ever wanted to know
All I ever wondered
About
Disappeared upon your kiss
That last illusion
In
The Wontry Winter of
Why
