How ?

 How deep should I carve the wound 

Deep into my heart 

To finally understand 

Pain,

My forever companion?

How many tales will it take 

For my ears 

To finally understand 

Truth,

The cunning thief?

How many touches will it take 

For my skin to feel 

The burn,

The constant curse? 

Which God should I go to? 

For my prayers are met with tears.

Or is my heart taking revenge?

As my eyes were dry all these years. 

How to be strong again?

How to pick up pieces of my heart 

Withering away 

Becoming one with the spirit

Hiding in the shadows. 

How to get answers 

To the questions 

Stuck in my throat

Eating away my soul

Sealing the pores of my heart. 

How?
