Solitude Sea

A feather floating away from your brain. As he is whispering your name. Pushing all your feelings away from me. Landed on a box, In a solitude Sea People scooping up things they don't need. Whining, that their boxes never ring. Missing package that should fill a void? No one's coming looking for me With no life ring in a solitude breeze Across the sea A feather floating in the breeze. No one's missing me. A gust of uncertainty, My emergency contact is blank. I landed right where I should be. With the rest of the forgettable things. Trash, even my mother told me. I belong in the solitude sea. Floating from everything. Stuck on tape sinking down with a box Of forgettable things. Bottom less solitude sea waiting for me. People reorder their forgettable things She's thinking of him when she's not with me. Im not on anyone's brain. Forever in a solitude sea. Floating around careless free. Washed from gutter Im not clear. Wishing, I was unforgettable . from you brain Definitely don't want to be floating away I'll get stuck on tape sink to the bottom. Feather got away. Just like my mama told me I will always be in a solitude sea. a gust of wind took me to a solitude sea. No breeze . No life ring! Im forgettable! sinking. unloveable Just hoard things to fill my void. Dust and tide covers me.
