Of Lies And Deaths

They have conspired
To annihilate me
Make me vanish
Without a trace.
Their saber found its target
My heart slashed open
When blood poured
And dyed me crimson
They hung me out
In the open bull-ring.
They were the matadors
Who guided the bull to me.
The vultures that picked up
The shreds of my flesh
Were them again.
And the talons
That tore into my heart
Were theirs too.
But the stain of blood remained
And spread everywhere
And left every soul
Contaminated.
They burned me at the stake.
They themselves were the stake
The embers and the smoke
And the flames that
Fed on my tallow.
But the ashes remained.
Swept by the wind
Of the whisper of my soul
It rained acid on every heart
And left them burning
Till this day.
The last of my deaths came
By poisoning.
They were the poison fangs
And the hood, the hiss
And the venom
That dyed me black
From head to the toes.
But Truth remained
Alive, bright and shining
So that they would
Swallow their lies
When the sun shines
Tomorrow.
I wish I could drink
From Lethe
And forget what
They have done unto me!
