Unsinkable

Gleaming eyes, brief smiles Flashes from the past Pictures of another reality Shadows of a better time Paired with future That no longer is Saturated images Predating this collapse Like an everlasting echo Inside my head When I did not have to fear That the sun Would not rise again Ship adrift at sea Beacons lights out And no one at the helm I wonder if after this The world can still exist Unsurmountable haze, delirious Stranded in the fog Somewhere amidst these rocks and foam I see you As beautiful as ever Clarity comes and goes Nothing new Collect mind fragments from times before Something to cling to Something warm And then comes the dark Push everything away Squeeze the life Out of these little pieces of hope Remember that this is you And you are Unsinkable
