In dark riverbeds where eternal thirst flows incessantly You guard only darkness, my distant friend. The night wind spins in the sky and sings. Endowed with broken heart and fatal dreams My pain is bound in chains, restrained. I exist only in the cracked, dry stitches and in the seams of the oldest tree. Falling forever from skin into my soul Waiting for deathβs sweet song. Surely, those soft footsteps are hers come to carry me home, sweet oblivion.
