Hourglass
We laugh we love we care and we carry our hearts on our sleeves.
Walking in these streets with blank faces.
We love, and we do it so poorly.
We give to fill ourselves up.
We empty ourselves hoping to be filled.
Weβre empty to the last drop till we get back to our beds crying, begging for a refill.
Weβre emptied out.
Dry.
Our bottom is breaking and I feel it cracking beneath my feet.
Hourglass, you flip it and the sand goes to the bottom end. "We give to fill ourselves up" "We empty ourselves hoping to be filled"
