Numb from the pain of a thousand cuts,
all over her skin, down to her bones.
Blinded by the blood-stained cloth
tied around her head, covering her eyes.
He then came, with a beating heart on his palm—
a remedy he thought she needed.
He bled to revive the polluted ocean
submerging her soul.
But as she screamed for oxygen to breathe,
she unconsciously dragged him below
until he drowned beneath her tears.
Too late for her to realize,
he devoured the night just to give her daylight.
