World of Dehydration

To hover within
The atmosphere
With no end in sight

Searching for shelter to
Silence my own caterwauling
Echoes that frighten me 

Immortality
Granted without my consent
For seeking eternal love

My flesh scattered
By savages of greed
Only to thirst for more

Yet, my heart
Has no scent
And sits untouched

I replenish
A world of thirsty mortals
With my salted tears

Only to see them
Vomit my memories
One by one
