I harmed what might not heal.

I harmed what might not heal.

The wound remains wide open.

The wound remains wide open.

The wide wound harmed.

I might not heal what remains open.

Blood behaves as usual.

Blood behaves as usual.

Truth endures and remains indestructible.

Truth endures and remains indestructible.

Indestructible truth behaves as usual.

Blood remains and endures.

I do not know the punishment.

I do not know the punishment.

I do not know if I survive.

I do not know if I survive.

If I don’t know the punishment,

I know I do not survive.

Wide blood behaves.

I know what I harmed.

The wound might not heal.

If I don’t know indestructible truth remains,

the punishment endures and remains open.

As usual, I do not survive.
