Trespasser

 

The pain has spread like pollen

And just like a clingy lover

It wraps every cell

And goes round and round

Getting intricated and messy

Like a distractedly woven web

Where life wanes

And faith is slurped malevolently…

The pain has spread all over,

From head to toe,

And reclaim more attention as minutes go by,

Patience gets weaker,

Happiness dehydrates

Like corpses sprinkled with tons of salt,

Breathing costs a bit more each day,

Smiling is just a blur memory coined

In shrunk brain cells

Tense and alert

Waiting for its executioner to wake…

The pain has spread all over,

Like the night over the sky,

Like a loud prayer exhaled from a broken mouth,

Opioids are obsolete,

Like a cashmere sweater

Reduced to rags in the tumble dryer…

The pain has spread all over

Like rivers infected by red-bellied piranha

Nobody in his right mind would try to wade…

The pain one day came to visit me,

And it found my insides so cozy,

It decided to move in,

Furnishing everything with sorrow and despair.
