Nothing left in the concrete

My concrete dried beneath regret,
No footprints left just silhouettes.

I scream through porcelain but cracks don't form—
Just echos of a lifetime; body-worn

An engine heart with rusted gears
Still grinding through regretful years

I've calcified to the point where nothing grows;
A statue dried; yet it sank inside an undertow.
