we sat down under a layer of charcoal black
and listened to seas roar deep sighs of pain
i explained how i don't feel any lungs or a muscle
where my heart belongs and that there are these
shattered peaces of nothingness left within
the depth of where emotion lays and tears
and happiness and joy and fear and soul
i never truly told you this but i tried to and
im trying to right now as my fingers pad away
on this bright screen at 1.30 AM because
memories haunt me in the night like ghosts
haunt me during the day
