Chapter 139

Start Anew

We have survived
Against deaths embrace
Despite confusion, guilt
Blame, shame and disgrace

Look your attacker
Square in the face
Spit in their eyes
Laugh in their face

They only can hurt us
They can not kill us dead
Only WE can do that
Please choose life instead

Remember dearest
Nobody KNOWS your pain
I will listen and comfort
I don't want you slain

If you decide you must die
Let me take your place instead
I will forfeit my life for yours
For without you I am dead

Let it be only one death
Me instead of you
May it free you from the demons
So you may start anew

Nobody
