The Woods
Anchor me out to sea
Where the ocean kisses the sky
And the sun sinks into sleep
The foot prints wash away
Run with me
As the waves pound against the rocks
Pull me into the air
Breathe
Opening my eyes the dim room
Encircling walls cradle the whispers of our secrets
We shared in the morning while nature slept
Tiny sunlight stretching through tree branches
I open my eyes
And the silhouette of where you once were is still on our mattress
I reach out into the dust floating into the air
Breathe
The wolves tug at my limbs
Off into the woods
Dragging across the pine needles and leaves
Trickling knives
Pulling
Tugging
Breathe
Flames enlight the night sky
No stars are seen
In the darkness
The moon hides underneath the blankets
Scared to move
Scared to breathe
Open my eyes to the darkness
The flames caught the forest
The ashes spread into the air
Replacing the stars hidden
Waltzing into the night
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe.
