We share the same blood

We share the same blood

How can this be?
All of this torment inside of me
You are my blood, yet it feels as if you are not
You are painfully karmic
Similar erythrocytes and DNA, we share the same blood

You must have come to life to make me suffer
Just thinking of you makes me boil
I have dark thoughts of how I can make your head toil
I wish I could do that but I am a coward

We share the same blood, I have no choice
This matter seems so puzzling
How could karma be such a bitch?
You feel like an irritating itch

You're fake, a double-faced individual
We share the same blood
All you are is a lie
I wish you would die
How can this be?
This facial image of yours, that looks like me?

We share the same blood
We share similar features: nose, mouth and eyes
Our karmic souls must have travelled through space and time
I'm hoping to understand how I can let all this anger outside
Since all my tears have dried

We share the same blood
It always felt like a sticky flood of mud
Slowly turning my heart into an ocher mudbrick
Like those you'll find in the Kasbah in Morocco
Deserted and dry
Like the tone of your voice that is no lie

How can this be?
All this hatred inside of me?
A heart that has turned into stone
How must I deal with all of this now that I have grown?
How can you be so heartless?
Do you care?
I hate you, but deep down I am scared
I am a coward
I am writing this to you instead
Instead of being forward
This is me: this is me.
