the waves crashing against the shore
carry the corpse of one I adore
watch it linger till the sun goes down
watch it linger till the tide moves on
birds often mistaken for stars
her eyes open when she hears their song
(the silhouettes hide in the dark)
her mouth, agape, seems to utter:
words that I can't seem to remember
thoughts escaping through rushing waters
a blanket of sound for the silent one
echos off the hollowness
of rocky cliffs
and passing on's
I hear their mournful melody
Haunting all my bones
Feeling the world
Leaving this place
A shallow hole
In empty space
I catch my breath
Before I faint
Falling into that state
Where I wouldn't know
What would exist
Before it's gone
It's all I've missed.
