2022/02/28 - Untitled



Drowning far from shore...
No savior in my frantic sight.
People always asking for more...
Numb to the constant absence of light.

High off love and drunk on pain:
Eyes heavy from sleepless teary-eyed nights.
The lid of my coffin finally nailed
As my battered mind falls from new heights.

Smiles and hugs, hearts of chaotic love:
Grieving never finished, unclosed wounds.
One life taken but one's too much:
We'll reunite with our loved ones soon.

Trapped in the prison of the present,
The cracks of the past in the walls:
We yearn for the light of the silver moon's crescent
And keep living like part of us has never died at all.
