Rejoin As She Rises
She was created
from the depths, born
between time and tears
before she escaped
snares trapping perfection.
so my dreams run red
in a feeding frenzy,
consuming ghosts
like daydreams
and various insecurities.
nothing good
can come from this.
remorse is a juggernaut
and it really pisses me off
when my scoops come
up empty.
the popular fallacies of love
pool around my bones.
so I will sink
soft beneath the sand
and catch her
On the way up.
