I close my eyes and like a
drowned corpse,the past
comes up to the surface and I
remember when you said
"Son, everything will be all right" .
everything will be just fine.
I remember when you said it.
I remember everything.
but now I find myself screaming
what used to be just silence.
I remember when I said "God I'm ready to die" .
And in the end I found my roots.
Father, I only wanted to run away from everything.
but I didn't have the key to open that door.
Father, Every breath that I took since then
has had a different taste,
the air outside that dark room tastes like truth .
I remember when you said it
I remember everything
but now I find myself screaming
what used to be just silence.
For each moment i’ve been a coward
I chose not to choose.
Neverbloom
I just wanna feel loved.
