Walking Past
There is no cruel intention in these veins of mine
No self-perturbing traces of malice or hatred
Yet I rot in all that I am
Sopping sorrows
Bacterial bondage
Lost in this reverse universe
Turning back the time
I am still a child
I am fine
I am fine
Never would I mean to hurt you
In my silence it seems that I have
In my state, my stagnant state,
I awaken your resentful waves
I am buried in your unawareness
Unraveling in writhing verse
I have no reason to despise myself
I have no reason to hide
A cold wind of a departure
I dare to turn and look
To watch you leave through the door
Suddenly I am rotting all over again
I am walled into endless festering
Do not tell me to live in the moment
Until you have felt what I have felt
Do not tell me to forget who I am
With what you think I was
I am fine
I am fine
The danger has no weight on me now
I am walking past you now
