Madness
A Year Walk fan-poem
For Shan'ika, from your Preshi
Ni kar'tayli gar darasuum
Why does it have to be this way?
I didn't want to be the bad guy
All I wanted was to give myself to her
But instead of taking me with open arms
She took my love away and wrecked it
Does it have to be this way?
I thought I was the hero
All I wanted was a little warmth
But I took a walk with the nightmares
She lay and bled as I wept
I am looking through eyes that are not my own
Interfering in events I have no stake in
And yet I feel connected
His love is my love
His fear is my fear
His hate, for others and himself, is my weapon
