Bite

When doe’s this end?
when is it your turn?
when can I move?
who can I blame?
why does it have to be now?

I see no blood
I see no blame
I see no shame
I see no gain
and I see no fame

I feel the pain
I feel the pulse
I feel the strength
I feel the fall
and I can’t feel the end

I have hit the bottom
and I can’t get up
I‘m bleeding inside
I’ve had no chance to find a guide
I need someone to be on my side

there is no visible wound
just distorted inner strength
controlled by fear
controlled by peace
and no time for any release

the skin has not been broken
but, my soul has been breached
I am mortally wounded
the path of least resistance is harder to find
the cleverness, the tactical and the defiance have reached their peak

I’ve seen death
I’ve seen faith
I’ve seen the cold
I’ve seen and felt an unforgiving force
and now all I see is the dark

I have been bitten
a chunk of my spirit has been taken
I am fatally wounded
I look on,
I see that everything can bleed and everything dies
