Sand washed,
salty lips,
project hindsight-
yet my sun streaked eyes will never see such glorious daylight.
Wind burned skin,
still reddened with the aftermath of unexpected storms,
inadequate life preparation...
continuously seeking warmth,
from paper- thin
soulless blankets.
Snow,
seeping below my collar,
chilling skin- deep bones that resemble spineless skeletons,
skating..
on ice much too thin for even a lightweight such as myself.
Unforgiving waves crash over me,
while the relentless undertow
pulls me under.
If only I could swim.
