I’ve been thrown
To the wolves,
With nothing, but
Honey over me.
And the gods
Expect
I take control
Of the beast.
To keep them calm,
Quiet and still.
I’m barefoot.
The pebbles,
And thorns on the ground
Hurt my feet.
I’m freezing,
For I have no thick clothes.
The wind it’s so cold,
It’s hard to breathe.
There’s no light in here.
But a diminishing moon,
That’s about to fade away.
I have no route.
I’m wandering in the woods,
Every time getting deeper and deeper.
The silence it’s that great,
I can hear the wolves
Coming after me,
From miles away.
It’s easy for them
To follow my track,
Because of my bleeding feet.
I can’t hide,
There’s no place for it.
And the gods
Still expect me
To tame
The hungry wolves.
I haven’t slept in decades,
Because,
I’ve been running away
From the wolves.
That’s my routine,
Day and night,
Every day.
I’ve asked the gods
To take me out of this,
But it seems
They have ignore my prays.
Have I asked to much?
Or I’m asking too few?
Should I ask louder?
Should I ask to
Other gods?
Should I stop asking
And take it as it comes?
I’ve forgotten
What is like
To have a good meal.
Don’t remember
When was my last one.
Don’t even remember
What it tasted like.
Been running for so long,
I haven’t had time to eat.
I miss my bed
In the king’s palace.
I miss the flowers
In the yards.
I miss the prince’s smile,
The touch of his hands
And the warmth
Of his skin.
At night,
A pale figure
Comes and gives me
One more day of punishment.
At day,
A black hear figure
Come and takes me
Back to night.
Didn’t ask for this task.
No one chooses
Such punishment
For the rest off their life.
This is been unbearable.
What did I do to piss off the gods?
Was that great my insult,
For me to deserve this?
Is this someday
Going to end?
Have I paid
Part of my debt?
Have they seen
How much I’ve done?
I’m doing my best
To please their hearts.
Have they stopped
To take a look to my progress?
I hope
This come to an end
Very soon.
I can’t
Take it no more.
I’m restless.
I hope
This end very soon.
