everything's fine up here
i tell myself, though my heart longs for what my hand can't reach
so near
but far away
ocean waves that glimmer, then wash away from me
footsteps print in arid sand
everything's fine in my lonely land
demons
i run, kicking up dust
clouds of the past, rubble and rust
my fingers curl tight and my knuckles burn white
around the lifestream in my hand
it's not a lot, but it's all i have and it
will have to do
but i'm just a human like you
the spaces between my fingers are betraying me
the water goes drip drip drop
i'm trying not to stop
but the sand is quick, it drowns me fast
i'd rather drown in the ocean that i see slightly past
the sun
ink splashes out onto my cracked heels,
words tearing from my throat and my hands convulse
it's been washing away the sand, my pulse
i fear, though, that my rambling needs to cease for me to be washed up on your seas
i crumble, i beg, please, please save me from these
tears they bite my face like fleas so cover my bleeding knees wash me with your
water
i hurt like others do
but unlike them, i haven't found a drop
of you
