Da dum.

Da dum. 

Dum da - da dum. 


Why does it appear -

that the sun is always setting,

the moon never sheds its light 

and the stars never come out to dance.


The joy that once was,

is now a distant memory.

It has been crushed by once-loving hands

and is now pieced by temporary bandaids. 


The suffocating

and 

sinking feeling,

of drowning above water

deluges the sculpted figure.


Da dum.

Da dum.

Dum da - da dum.

Flatline.
