En Carne Propia
Carlos Bahr
In My Own Flesh
Listen
While I read
You have hurt me
And the blood from that wound
Will drip over your life, endlessly
Someday
You will feel in your own flesh
The cruelty that today lashes me
Your mercilessness...
And it's possible that the hand that wounds you,
Avenger or justiciar, for your harm
Will give back to you
Blow by blow the suffering,
When you are in the moment
Where the blow hurts the most.
In my own flesh
You will feel the dull anguish
Of knowing that the one you loved the most,
Is the one hurting you...
It will be useless
To plead for the grace of forgiveness.
It will be in vain
To try to dodge the pain.
Because someday,
With the same vile coin,
That those who pay wrong pay with,
You will be paid back.
On your knees
You will kneel begging to the sky,
When you feel the full weight of the pain.
Your bitterness
Will be immense and irremediable,
When you pay with the price of your horror...
On your knees you will cry in the agony
Of your night gone mad, unforgiven...
And in the anguish
Of your cruel remorse,
You will go through the hell
That I have gone through for you.
