Gótico

I am Erika

Mother Earth lives in my eyes
fire races through the maze of my veins
a breath of life wakes me everyday
and in my soul, darkness lies

i am erika, the one who's face is stained with tears, i am erika

Lonliness's bony arms grab me every night
her sharp claws hurt me deep inside
as she steals my smile and makes it hers
leaving me with nothing but my tortured self

i am erika, the one who's heart bleeds from a thousand wounds, i am erika

Trying to run away from reality
smiling at the spirits surrounding me
struggling with every wave of pain
before it kills me once again
leaving me completely hollow
wandering the halls of sorrow

i am erika, the one who is losing her wings, i am erika

 

I have enjoyed your poetry very much!

Thank you for sharing that part of your soul.

XOXOXO
