Quicksand

9.29.02

Wrapped in your skin,

it all fell apart

I misplaced my heart

Back on the path and my bread crumbs were gone

The hourglass was broken

Covering me in sand

I pulled myself out,

found dry land

I traced along the dotted lines,

remembered my sketch

of how I was before

Found myself floating

amongst the sea

Awaiting a prophet

to take me home

When I forget my strength

I fall back into the quicksand

but someone I can return to my feet

and stand with my head towards the sky

Sunlight from my eyes,

Stars from my hands,

I think this is it

I can finally breathe again.
