reclaim me. i know if you would, you would reclaim your life. i am inching closer to the depths, even if i told you i would cling on. the sands are dragging me downwards... to the belly of the desert. what could you do to save me? what could you do to save yourself?

the promise of amends i still wait for. do you plan to make me stagnant in this phase forever? how could you surmise to take me back if you are doing nothing?

do i still have to be with you if you are not trying to be with me? you talk of the future when what you see is bleak? you make me talk of it when i stare at the the sea of memory enveloped in coldness?

there is nothing in the dark... oh wait, there is... just me. and i alone. and a shadow of what used to be your smile.
