They say when you see a dead body it sticks with you for the rest of your life I’ve never seen one Well that’s a lie Every morning I wake up and look in the mirror I see one It’s not dead in the sense of lifeless It’s hollow, there’s no bright contours like in the magazines Lest there be any signs of life it hasn’t shown But maybe my mothers a necromancer or maybe I’m still alive That still won’t change the fact my bed feels like a pool of water and my life is concrete shoes

My dead body
They say when you see a dead body it sticks with you for the rest of your life I’ve never seen one Well that’s a lie Every morning I wake up and look in the mirror I see one It’s not dead in the sense of lifeless It’s hollow, there’s no bright contours like in the magazines Lest there be any signs of life it hasn’t shown But maybe my mothers a necromancer or maybe I’m still alive That still won’t change the fact my bed feels like a pool of water and my life is concrete shoes
The title might be a little too ominous tbh
