Blooms Despite Our Drought

She thinks about how the water in her lungs could kill her but

She mostly just wants you to swim in them so she can breathe you in and feel natural

With enough beauty to make her wish she had more eyes

She thinks it’s beautiful to wish for more limbs

She wants to see a pulse from the inside

Now he feels like drowning and when he tries to speak the water pools around his ankles and smells heavy

They say a picture is words a thousand words and seeing you like this is worth a million

They’re drowning but not in unison

Some things come to an end but not as fond as this
