Elegy for the wounds that raised me

I do not know if I fear you, thank you, 
or hate you for hanging round. 
I fear I'd been somebody else
who stands on solid ground. 

I thank you, cause you made me this, 
but I hate the reasons why. 
I fear it might just free my soul
when you finally say goodbye. 

I hate you for staying here this long. 
Thank you for being stable. 
I fear the day you leave, 
my time, not coming
cause I'm not able. 

Goodbye, it's time, 
at least I hope, 
I pray that you'll go quietly. 
My greatest loss, 
the quietest piece
the part that hopes you'll fight me. 

I’ll say this truth, 
Là Je M’amuse, 
I feel it’s almost over. 
That murder smile,
the haunting fact
a grin that’s Grimm, all over.

Absurd to see 
to sink so deep, 
and disappearing tears. 
That day and night unfiltered rot
 
goodbye, forever, cheers.
