Ou: Uma morte em três atos

Tongue
You thrusted yours in me
Not seeing the blood you drew
out
Or the poisoned air you locked in
You shaped it as a mask
to force upon my face
and shield yourself
from an incomprehension you said
was mine
The walls you needed yourself
you build them around me
And I saw myself alone
Till I didn't see anything anymore
and it was the first time I died
Finally
- I thought to myself -
It has taken longer than I expected
*
Love
You crawled under my skin
and scratched inside my veins
savouring my blood with a sharp
smile
You came hidden under deep eyes
and shiny hair
You never knew I would see
right through your prince charming
disguise
and unveil your claws
I spat on
your face
and sent you running back
- in pieces
my pieces
You failed.
I was stronger than you
I am always so strong
And that was why I died a second
time
('and that is why you'll keep dying', you answered)
Finally
- I thought to myself -
It has taken longer than I wished
for
*
Bravery
You dared me
You showed me all the gold
at the end of the
rainbow
and made out of it the perfect
costume
You broke me and rejoiced over my
shatters
You never warned me about the ticket
tolled in blood
You took me to the end
You allowed me to the pot
You lead me to my doom
My arrogant mocking smile still on
as you silently kissed my breath
away
and laid me cold and lifeless
among golden coins
under that colorful arch
and those brilliant drops of rain
That was the last time I died
Finally
- I thought to myself-
It has taken longer than I was
ready for
