The Cry Won’t Last

I need an embrace,
How I want to see your face,
Now I lay there and wait,
It is as if he held my fate,
On my pillow case,
Are tear stains.
Marks and scars,
But why do I still hear your voice,
Among the deadly angry wolves,
You consume me with desire,
My weakness.

I find you,
I feel you,
For days I think about it,
I write about it,
No! I cannot keep calm from you,
Sitting here on my bed,
What happened to us?
What destroyed us?
All I know I destroyed myself.

Loving you,
Was my worst venom.
That killed me from the inside,
That poison that burned like a raging fire,
Yes!
That one that consumes with no mercy,
My heart left with thorns,
Flesh eating,
Feeling deprived and alone,
Every tear is a menace,
A ridicule of the intense love you professed,
I am insane with revenge,
Am vile of you,
You prove nothing,
But a consequence,
Of my mistakes,
I cry now but not forever.
