Sapphire crystalline seas,

glissading through my glossy grasp.

Sweet salt sifting in the breeze,

slipping from my desperate clasp.

I realize as I weep:

there’s none my heart can keep.

Bless Solitary Me like the others, Universe.

These empty places leave me far, far worse.

What can endure this state, when all I have is this soloing weight?

_Wander, Wanderer, wander._

_Someone will find you sooner,_ you whisper.

_Wander, Wanderer, wander._

_Don’t leave your soul unseen,_ you beg me.

I lay in your hearth,

but there’s never any warmth.

A barren land, my soul’s swarth.

I mourn the hiding of my heart, feeling so alone.

I let the acidic tears seep through all my bones.

I shiver, too, feeling like deadened ashes.

And yet your small touches elicit me with ember flashes.
