The Price
With my eyes, I paid
To see you
Wearing a blood-spattered dress
Motioning me to run away with all my might.
Waving,
Warning,
Pointing,
Signaling,
Only to struggle
And be captured.
With my ears, I paid
To hear you
Screaming into the night
Choking on the dusty syllables of my name.
Calling,
Begging,
Pleading,
Praying
Only to be shot
And muted forever.
With my hands, I paid
To feel you
Turning into marble
Dimming like a sickly, dying candle flame.
Trembling,
Shaking,
Slipping,
Shiv ‘ring,
Only to be put out
And rise into the wind.
With your life, you paid
To save me
From life’s harsh injustice
Living life as if it were still the same.
Smiling,
Dancing,
Humming,
Hoping,
Only to be betrayed
By Hitler’s cold game.
Please give any suggestions, as well as things I could mention in my explication. Thanks! :)
