Via-Grapevine-II

But I, too, am a student seeking knowledge.I, too, thirst to find where home is,Where to let my spirit dance.So leave me be, on this pursuit of happiness.UNLEASHEDUnravelling the past,Waking the pain from its sleep,You turn a soil that has so much been at peace,And dig for stones and bonesThat have long been forgotten.You paint days red,Choosing not to live on,Because in you yesterday is still breathingAnd tomorrow is suffocated by that memory,And fearful of your presence.Your eyes barely hold any promise,But bear only the skeletons of shattered vows.Tears stream down your cheeks,Yet those drops, empty, no longer have a meaning,For you have cried a million tears before.A fire burns in you,That spreads and turns everything you touchInto ashes.You wish to be freed from this demon,But this demon is you,So you cannot flee from yourself.And those you love, overwhelmed with fear,Hide away in corners,Away from this devouring spiritThat dwells in you.~
