my broken thoughts 𐦍༘⋆

graveyard shift

i was there.
maybe i wasn't
but i knew,
your bones were burning
and i felt the flames inside me

the ash
it must've followed you up
the atmosphere was smog

i couldn't hold it in
i begged the world
i bargained

and then it crumbled.

where did you go?
the life i saw
i always knew—
it vanished.
