The humid air embrace hugs me like a bear
Sand in my dripping wet salty hair
I’m in despair to feel the warmth
I suffocate without the spirit of hope
Nobody wants to hear it but I’m slowly drowning
I wish the Jupiter rain could fill me up ’til I see stars and my head is pounding
It feels much better than knowing the real concept of life has let you go
The blurry faded faces of people you used to know
All of today’s world is filled with snow and swirling white clouds of infinite pain
In the distance I can see
The swaying palm trees and faint smell of E-cigs
The lapis paint of the ocean waving for me to come home
All this expeditive motion produces emotion
An empty gaping hole floats in my heart from where I used to feel real life and true smiles
Grasping on forgotten people makes my stomach churn and m fingertips burn
But irreplaceable humans always turn into memories
You might lose the thought of them over time
But once you feel their presence again,
Your heart instantly remembers and fills
I swear this to the bone
I’ll open my eyes in the morning and end up home
I want to discard the emotion of alone.
