Snake


A poem by Jenevivu

I do not mean them harm,
They can not understand the fact,
that I am not the devil here,
They all just want to hurt me.
Did it e'r occurr to you,
that i may be in love as well,
That I feel just as trapped as you?
we both are prisoners in this hell.
I did not wish to do the things
that I know I have done to you,
I did not wish to say those things,
that may have wrapped these chains on you.
But nothing else can keep me safe,
It's really not that much to ask,
I only wanted happyness,
for them to look behind my mask.
I wish that I could let you out,
but now I fear that if I do,
You will cause me mortal pain,
I did not wish for this for you.
I do not want your sympathy,
I do not want your pity,
I do not want your lonliness,
I do not want your pain.
But all I feel is just remorse,
and all I want's your death,
and now the river flows it's course,
The searing venom drips.
And nothing more can save me from,
the dark I cannot shake,
And maybe I'll be trapped forever,
after all I'm just a snake.
