I think the ocean was the true lurer to death

And sirens were just the women who followed the oceans song

And embraced Poseidon’s crushing love

Why do I always look down when I walk?

Afraid of looking ahead

Always wanting to turn back



There’s that urge again

to turn around

I’m looking down.

There’s something about flowers

That makes me smile

And my heart ache

the ringing in my ears

tells me there’s someone out there

calling my name.

i just can’t see them,

or at least

not yet.

It hurts to be this empty.

It hurts to long this much.

All I ever needed from you

was a loving touch.

Maybe a smile

a laugh

kindness

But I was met with harsh words

and cold blue eyes.

but that implanted hatred

        wrecks my mind
