char

yes, ben, I'm calling you out

lake

lich jake

lake

the hum of life buzzes

throughout your marble chest.

a stationary object that gleams with life.

a silent scream from your monotonous stare.

i hear you, my marble counterpart,

i am just like you.

a face fixed to convey

the same blank stare

despite it all.

despite the cold, the hear

despite the hands on my

neck, on my chest.

i see you, my stone soldier,

i see it all.

i see the hands graze your velvet clay

the shine of oxidation on your copper body

a sign of the privilege

you’re an unlucky one, bolted to the spot

the spot where tourists assault you, simply because

skin, bones, teeth, scab

shallow grave for the child

keepsakes for the family

rot and mold under the ground

she will return to stardust

we all return from whence we’ve come

to the cosmos and galaxies

i cant wait to go back

no stress, no worry

just floating in space

when we return to stardust,

tears won’t fall

when we return to stardust,

corruption won’t ruin us all

when we return to stardust,

the fear of the world going up into flames

will diminish.

alongside the evil men on top

they’ll be lowered to our level

and the stardust will forgive them

for their sins.

but we won’t

the mere thought of someone being in pain

makes my chest ache

why couldn't i take the brunt of it all?

hello im a 16y/o singer/songwriter, and this is a demo for my first song

please please please show support or ill cry

i feel like i am

i try to push stuff on those i care about

i dont mean to harm them

i just mean to push them forward

but what if my forward is their backward?
