Wild Animal Poem by Chryssa Velissariou

I suffer,
And so I will scratch this paper
To do not cut my veins!
I need all my veins, nerves untouched
To feel my life to the end.
Oh! I really am a wild creature,
Masochistically licking my open wounds.
Always proud.
Once pain is learning me
Defense.
Awake and alone.
Alone! I'd like to look at your eyes,
As long as I open my own.
But you didn't let me.
Neither you, who I adored, you couldn't withstand me...
