If there was a world
Where I lived without you
Had other friends
That would be something new

If there was a world
Where you didn't exist
Would I have a reason
A way to persist?

If there was a place
Where you didn't survive
Or lived somewhere else
Or you weren't alive

If there was a plane
Where you, my treasure
We're taken from me
With all of life's pleasure

I can't say I'd know
Whatever to do
Because, dearest friend
I can't live without you

So do keep on well
And try to survive
I can't live without you
So keep by my side

I am losing my best friend.
I am being ignored.
"There is nothing that can come between us, we're sisters for life."
There was no blood oath, there was no written promises
Just words
Weightless feathers floating through the air
I am trying to figure out the problem and it seems I cannot.
You've been speaking to me with your salon client voice and it cuts deeper than you know.
If I have lost you know that I love you and I never wanted our sisterhood to end.

Can the soul be cremated? Is she still with me?
A once alive body turned into smoldering remains in a matter of moments, residing now on a shelf for all to simultaneously acknowledge and ignore.

The ghosts, they haunt you in the night. Calling you, beckoning to you. Can you make it through to the next sunrise? Oh what I would do to be able to save you. The evil fills your body, intoxicating you. I'm intoxicated by you, but so helpless to stop the chaos.
I only seek to fill your empty void, but you give in to your monsters, consumed. I can only stand and watch. Will I ever be enough? Will you ever only want my love?
Pulsing through your veins, the transformation. Someone I don't recognize; your mind is no longer your own. Here I am left behind in this broken reality, as your soul explores the unknown. Your touch is cold to me. Who are you?
I see you drowning, but I myself have lost the ability to swim in this vast ocean you've created between us.
You long for that place that I cannot go. You're leaving me behind for that unknown. I hope you're happy as I'm killing myself watching you be engulfed by the flames of what I'll never be. You run into the fire gladly and I'm left here staring into your hollow eyes. Were you ever really mine?

my heart has been broken about as many times as the tides have changed,

as many times as the sun has sunken into the valleys and ascended into the stars as a half crescent moon.

the riptide
crawls up
my spine
just as I begin
to free myself from
its arms of
injustice
and
heart of
deviation


I just
want
a simple moment of
clarity...
a moment where I can
breathe
and
descry
a ceiling imbued with
voluminous clouds
and serene
blue.
