seven deadly sins

i was swimming in the water,
lake full of teadrops

counts as all seven wonders,
my body there surrenders.

the surface closed upon my head,
gave up screaming for help.

salt taste was now forgiveness
and the air becomes endless.

dirty hands let me see the sun
and keep my feet back on the ground.

all the white clouds turned black
but photons hit my neck.

i saw a body of an aphrodite
and a wisdom of goddess athena.

how could i lay my head tonight,
her legs tattoed by antheia.

my chest grew and lost its soul.
i'm waiting to burst it open,

pretend my life was never broken,
that i'm never coming home.

and when i see the lenses,
those the same as the windy sky,

in the middle one light folden,
the same colour as the setting sun.

i spread my arms to fly
but i lost all my feathers.

and i had the urge to cry,
i'm just like the others.

i gave her the fresh air,
the last molecule of life

that was left of me.
i'm calling the darkest night.

she took it without a word,
knowing she was adored.

then she pushed me to the lake,
i was prepared to drown again.

now for sure never returning back
photons disappear from my neck.

hoping for her hands to find me once again,
i'm better off with my chest bursting open.
