Who told you the hollows between your ribs weren't deep enough?
Or your face was meant to be covered?
What made you deprive your temple of critical nutrients?
Who took away your spirit?
...
When do you stop trying to hold on to something that already seems to be gone?
Everything is breaking except dawn
You're fading like a shadow as the sun disappears
The brightness dims as the clouds interfere
...
Rain
Let the rain reign down on this tired dirt
As the drops disperse into every pore
The water soothes my skin
...
The sun shone down to highlight the tip of every passing wave
Glazing my feet, the same soft ripples, gentle kicks paved
The now damp towel brushed against our thighs that were huddled together
An afternoon, on the placid lake, with perfect weather
...
