I try to swallow the paths
that I once trekked upon
Way back in my past
Yet they still follow me
Everywhere
Who is that?
dancing in reprieve
peeping through
the shadows of light
I try to hide behind
every taken breath
Yet, she smells me
as they are laid to rest
I try to run, I try to hide
Into these vast fields of snow
Boundaries manage
to stifle me every time
They call me
obscene and fescennine!
Who did I ever hurt?
Who did I ever dared to call mine?
These shadows,
they follow me so intensely
Every breath that i take
Every effort that I make
Just to stay alive
