Self-Preservation
Stomping Feelings in the mire,
Pilling Feelings on a pyre,
Throwing Feelings from the cliffs,
Wrapping Feelings in dead leaves,
Forbidden feelings that take all from me,
Forbidden feelings that don’t let me be
Forbidden feelings I want to avoid,
Forbidden feelings– scrape my heart to Void.
Seems I have been cursed to live -
For I Can’t Myself behind me leave,
Sieving my brain, sieving through a sieve,
All respites are hard and awful brief.
Forbidden Feelings that I shouldn’t have,
Forbidden Feelings that leave my heart bereft,
Forbidden Feelings – Red and Cursed for theft –
Those Feelings I’ll be taking to my grave.
