See, I’m the one
That goes about crying,
And I demonstrate the
Justice of love; and already
I don’t find anyone
With pity’s heart, that,
Sees me and sighs.
New pains come into
My heart that hurt
Me and I cry
Hard; and many times,
By surprise, the agony
Of death arrives, that
Makes people take notice,
And they say amongst
Themselves: this one is
In pain; from the
Outside he looks bent,
And within he has
New miseries. A heavy
Weight descended on
My heart, certain spirits
Were already consumed, that
Had come to defend my
Painful heart, I had
Called them: and they left
My eyes abandoned, then
In my mind I
Hear a voice say:
The misery within, that
Dies, but watch out
When misery takes aim.
Robert Petrecca
