Buried in sand
They rot and scream
Torn from my soul
Hidden underneath
The earth
Torn from my heart
Left me dead
For a thousand years
It’s an eternal curse
A shell waiting
For the end
The mist is rising
Turning to stones
Becoming a hell
Banished from my own
What I once was
Afraid to see
Can I be
Rebuild again, no
The tears
Have dried in me
Left alone
For a thousand years
It’s an eternal curse
A shell waiting
For the end
The mist is rising
Turning to stones
Becoming a hell
Banished from my own
I try to find
Where they are inside
I call out their names
Only to be left
In silence
2023
