Shallow




Dragging his shadow into the wilderness
 His thirst grew stronger and stronger.
 The veins of his arms filled up with her scent
  His tortured body aching with every move

 He turned to look at the house one last time
 The windows covered in memories
 What should have been minutes seemed to go on for ever?
The sleeve of his jacket covered in red stains

 What will I do?
 These thoughts filling his mind
 Walking past snow covered pine trees
 A happy occasion for most

 Silence biting through him
 His eyes widen with every move
 The sky so clear
 Blue crystals hanging on the trees reflecting his identity

 Masked by a hat and scarf wine and yellow lines patterned on them
 Crying nature roaring out to one another
 Messengers of the wild
 His heart felt the dagger

 Isolation brought sadness
 As he leaned against the road to freedom
Statues of that first day they met caught his eye
 A simple heart with each other’s initial captured within
 Caged by beauty

 Standing alone now
 No one to guide him on his journey
 A breath fell from his lips
 As the sirens passed by him
He lay in an unmarked grave
The red stained sleeves catching the light.
