Underground Oceans
December 8, 2022
The image in your mind, keep it pristine.
Twist my insides til you see them gleam.
You left me alone in the heated beams.
When we meet by the trees
Tell me your dreams.
Do you remember that ember.
It was in late December.
When you told me what condemns her.
The world you tried to dismember.
Watch the waves of your life.
Fall into their ocean of lies.
Don’t be surprised when the love you despise drowns you alive.
Keep your eyes on me as the planet dies.
We shall be the only ones to survive.
Join me in my secluded fantasy
Just outside of people’s sanity.
It’s really a tragedy
No one else receives this kind of clarity.
Nothing in life is free
Your name means nothing in the big scheme.
But keep your reputation clean.
You don’t want to lose your self-esteem.
When the fireflies glow
There’s a sanctuary below.
Where the children still grow
And the air still flows.
