Mourning

Empty these sea shells

Ringing of life

That once was

Mosaic patterns on twisted hearts

Wanting of love

Maybe more strife

The ocean at my crumpling feet

Tears and tides

Whispers the sky above

Quicksand is fast to catch me

In tears of dye

Can't see anyone this side

I mourn life for life's sake

My body is twisted

Flesh breaks in sighs

There is no sign of the moon

I sink to the bottom

Feel shackles that resisted

Covered in flaky stillness

On the brink of autumn

All roads back are shut
Dusty path silken track

Wheels shriek in bloody tones

Not much bother

For this sack of bones
