My Frailty
After the Burial
I remember your taste, you're the life I gave away.
Failure wrapped around my neck, you're the ghost that held me back.
Now I am letting go.
Drowning myself in the frozen waters.
I feel the words escaping.
They break from my thoughts and disappear from my mouth.
They leave behind a taste, the taste of failure,
so familiar it reminds me of you.
Don't say you'll save my life.
I never asked you for anything, but you wanted more.
Drowning in your frozen waters I was sinking,
you were my frailty.
Drowning in your frozen waters, don't say you'll save my life.
I'm vanishing, I'm giving up on myself.
Closing my eyes forever.
Throw my body into the wind spinning and twisting,
I bend into something else.
A catastrophe, a murderer of hopes and dreams.
This is not my life.
When winter ends, my new life begins.
Bend and break, in pieces I was for you.
You were my frailty, don't say you'll save my fucking life.
