Somewhere, Once
I keep dying
Out of nowhere
For this, right now
For today
For the day after
For the weight of letting go
Dying
as if leaving
were something I could learn
Somewhere
Maybe this was all life meant to be:
Deathtiny, all along
To die
just to say
I once breathed
Somewhere far away
So far
It slips
Over my lips
And drifts away
Leaves behind nothing
Me
And empty eyes,
No, not even me
Just a hole somewhere
Maybe it was me all along
A ghost
The one
who held a place in his heart
An island
Called Neverland
Only a feeling remains
Something they used to call life,
Living beneath a sky
with a ground
that had a smell
Better to lose the tongue
than to speak of hope
Maybe this is just
a way of saying goodbye
To what life was
To its smells
To everything
that existed
beyond them
