beneath the aftermath
of a war with a million casualties
there's a heart that's beating silently
as you clear the debris
i'd saved what breath I had
in the fear that it be wasted
before you came to take it away
falling through your space
you drown me like a witch
infiltrating holy lands
I give in
bleed into your cup
I bleed to fill you up
beating for your sustenance
until i'm dry
love has eaten me alive
frostbitten all over
nothing to lose
so I follow in silence
so overwhelmed to witness
a beauty fit to destroy the world
and all it holds
there's nothing pure that I can see
anymore
they're losing touch of what they are
but you stay true so I will too
i'll follow you until I die
i'm a broken shell of a woman
and I thank god that you see through
i'm a facsimile of a woman
and I thank fuck that you don't care
