vultures

 


Like vultures flying over the dead
they spin round and round inside my head
my blood course rapidly through my veins
to my entire body transporting the pain,
I told myself letting go was the only strategy
still like hunting dogs they keep chasing me,
I cannot outrun the beasts they’re on my back
I jump ship I abandon everything so I can’t be tracked.
The ones who profess a love divine
are the ones who can’t seem to be kind,
what they wish I cannot know
they hide in the distance never letting show
what are their intentions should I die a sudden death
or do they wish to see me crawl until I’m out of breath,
I beg them please go away quietly while I sleep
tomorrow should bring no more chances to weep,
like vultures they tear me to shreds without fear
my bleeding flesh tossed and shared everywhere
my broken bones my shattered heart still is not enough
they want to prove they’re right better tough
my need to be cared for and loved shall never be saved
I close my eyes being buried in an early grave.
