We go about life not understanding the weight that death holds
October 14, 2021
She carried the sea in her eyes
Black iris, blue water
Promises she couldn't keep any longer
She held honey on her tongue
Numb lips, sweet rum
A lasting love that only stung
The days all blur
Seasons pass
Familiarity
Doesnt last
Sleepless nights
Days filled with dreams
Hope of a life as seen on screens
A life wasted
On anxiety and tears
A depersonalization caused by fears
She holds knowledge in her hand
Cracked skin, green with sin
As she turns to sand
