I Am Deadlight

Stranded on a stoney shore Lift my head to gaze upon a beach of humanity All half in the ocean as we grasp upon the grit No grip or girth or strength To pull us safetly from the curdled sea Suspects of our own demise Loneliness seems to toy with me in pleasures throes I am deadlight killed in sunlights scorn Feelings wither in desolation and the rot now salts the earth Pain ebbs in darkness The source within that no surgeons hands can restore or remedy If the tears that drown myself are pity for me or just our mutual futile cause
