A song for the departed soul

The harsh oceans of my brain keep me company
The splitting of skin will never comfort
The seething within can only be held for so long
Suddenly the ocean washes away
Leaving soft sand and warm air with petals of cherry blossoms fluttering
I breathe in the sweet fragrance of hope and heeling

The once crisp walls of my brain become caked in filth
Reflecting the pain and sorrow at my core
The scars only grow
The towel becomes redder when everything feels like a chore
He left 2 months ago but I can't help to wallow
This all happening has left me hollow

The dark night mirror the void of my heart
A chasm i can only fill with the sound of rushing water below
I inhale a final breath
My final thought
The silence that will be permanently shattered
I let out a deep final sigh
A cold gentle embrace pulls me inward
Darkness surrounds me as I close my eyes one last time
