Fera Ferida

Maria Bethânia Maria Bethânia

Wounded Beast

I ended it all
I escaped with my life
I had my clothes and dreams
Torn apart on my way out

But I left wounded
Suffocating my moans
I was the perfect target
Hit in the chest many times

Skittish animal
Domesticated forgets the risk
I let myself be fooled
And even led by you

I know how much sadness I had
But still, life goes on
Dying slowly for love
I know, the heart forgives
But doesn’t forget easily
What I can’t forget

I walked too far
Didn’t look back
I was free in my steps
A wild creature, aimless, unbound

I felt so alone
Stumbling on my path
Looking for shelter
A helping hand, a place, a friend

Wounded animal
Decided by instinct
I undid my steps
An unhappy attempt to forget

I know flowers existed
But they didn’t survive
The constant storms
I know, the scars speak
But the words are silent
What I can’t forget

I won’t change
This case has no solution
I’m a wounded beast
In body, soul, and heart
