To the earth I return

Writer: NourNour

I can feel the pain clutching my heart

Squeezing out every ounce of liquid possible

It's demanding blood

It's demanding tears

It's demanding my soul


I do not know when it's my turn to demand it to stop,

To get up and leave because

this is not what I need

Yet I don’t

My tongue, locked in knots I cannot break

My heart, collapsing with every explosion that hits and it aches

I try to breathe but the oxygen cannot reach my lungs

And I look up to the sky,

Eyes spinning around seeking for refuge

I am going to die, I say

Right before the remains of my heart turn into debris,

I fall to the earth as it welcomes me

to a new life

to a new heart

and a whole new set of pain.
