And yet, a mirror.

Suicide Note
It was sad when the
Butterflies turned to dust that
Changed the world to grey
It was depressing
When the rivers stopped flowing
And the flowers died

Own apocalypse

With the ease of a sharp knife
And relished the pain

The willow tree weeps
Fireflies light up the sky
Shepherding lost souls

at me across the ocean
sea shrinks to puddle.

hurricane through my body-
wrecked beyond repair.
