oh what a wonderful world

oh what a hollow dark world

there's too much to say

and even the sky knows it

eyes remain low

death's whistles echoed so close

too close

not enough salt water for us all

never enough space

to breathe through the clouds

nothing there to stop the fire from reaching all our hearts

we've become that weeping forest

where not even the stars know what to do.

And if there was someone else taken

how would we cope?

by not knowing your voice

now a sisterless sadness

what is this?

and why did the world choose to take?

nothing else is there to fill the mellowsome walls of our haunted story.

on their behalf,

i am sorry.
