Sliver

Frivolous ashes bursting aloof

Smile Child, but not on the outside

Her essence diluted to the simplest form

remnants of an echo,

the aftermath of storms

Awaken the shadows within

Joyriding tsunamis from waves yet to be transcended

In my subconscious, comfort never ended

A magnetic connection piercing the fields of solitude,

Reach for the heart, but occupy the soul

Every piece you take…carries its toll

Agonizing over love once lost

You took their smile, but at what cost?

If you are intact, you’ll never be alone

The heavy breathing of a confined ego finds a place to call “home”
