To what do I owe this grief
To whom do I point my finger
I have no solution
Or reverse spell

From whom do I collect my debt
From where do I rewrite my fate
Call it madnes
A believer becoming faithless

Tell me where will I find my heart
The cure to my blindness
I offer my blood in sacrifice
My soul for his life

Sin
Was it too much of a sin to want you?
That to learn my lesson
I would have to have you
then
lose you
Simpleton Oct 2019
If I had known of the floods that would drown me
I would never have prayed for your existence
Had I known that it would be a lifetime of pain and grievance
That my supplications would turn into eulogies
My womb a grave
Or my mind a memorial
I wouldn't have begged at the alter
For the beginning of a life
Which turned into the ending of several

She had grieved for me
Before I had even entered her life
I was to be her greatest sacrifice
Knowing she would cry
That her deepest misery was to always love him
More than I

I feel
I can feel my mind
Pleading to cooperate
To sleep and wake up
But I can't forget her
To count her flaws and hate her
But they make her look prettier
There's a fire in my chest
That could burn the city down
There's a jealousy in my heart
It spreads through my veins like a poison
My heart sews dead promises into the salted Earth
I am living in the arms of moments passed
With my eyes closed
I think of where the sea meets the river
And how it flows into an ocean
In my desire to please her and be with her
I have abandoned myself
I don't know how to be alone again
I don't know how to stop myself from flowing towards her
My torn soul is visible on my face
I cannot escape when they ask me of my pain
In those moments
I wish
I wish to be no one
Nothing
Merely the wind unreachable in all my glory
Free to howl
And be heard
Not questioned nor consoled

God sent you for me
Simpleton Jun 2019
I am tired of collecting farewells from people that were never mine
Of walking empty streets
And being kept alive
Through the rejection
And painless absence
It is a habit to want to meet
The next person that comes along
That will make the sky sing
And the wind dance
Who will bring colour to life

I am yours before you were mine
