My soul is restless
She longs to part with my body
To be rid of the darkness that shackles her
This skin is not my own
Only the scars are familiar to me
Sometimes I wonder if I’m human
Or am I a melody
A lullaby softly sang to a sleeping child
Escaping maternal lips
A whisper of light through the branches
Of dying trees
There is poison in the air here
I can’t breathe
There is so much hate in the hearts of men
And it breaks me
Let me reach out to you
Feel every part of your existence
I’ll tremble in the vastness of your soul
Let me breathe in your air
It isn’t toxic
You are as much a part of this earth
As the dirt and the trees
When you cry, is it a rainstorm?
As you shake with fury, are you an erupting volcano?
Under the surface
There is a whole world inside of you
This planet is dying
Let me explore the one you hold in your heart
Please don’t be afraid of me corrupting it
