Your words of poison
twist around my body
my limbs
like the ivy
taking a final
stranglehold

Childhood faded fast
recently I regret
now such a final halt
I can’t be a child anymore
I wish I’d never dreamt
of age

I’m broken
and breaking down
dying alone
nothing seems to ease
this torture

Am I the only one,
who cries?
I can’t be strong for you
I have no strength
for myself

Nothing’s left
but fear and dread
So please
don’t speak
I have nothing to say
