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
