Ripples
Drip
Heart like an ocean
Body like a sculpture
Mind like a desert
Heart is vast
It reaches out to you
But just as you try to pull it close
Moon pulls it back
Body is smooth
Like the finest granite
Yet it's as cold as Ice
You'll only heat the surface
Mind is barren
You see it's dead inside
As soon as you see tears
You'll never see it again
Drop
Pain like an ocean
Tears like stone
Mouth like ash
Pain swells in its belly
Fills its empty eyes
But when you reach for it
It Smiles and says it's fine
Tears slip from raw eyes
Screams tear through its throat
Blood from the wounds it can't see
Scars left by people who abandoned it
Mouth tries to speak
Fear holds its leash
Why speak
Not even nobody cares what it says
Drip Drop
