Succumb

The wind takes away 

What the body exhales 

In the silent waters 

Of a tucked away past 

Hidden for all to see 

This wandering behavior 

So selfishly seeks 

The troubles of the ones before it 

Slighting the last breath of a stranger 

So violent his intentions 

As the body weeps 

For never will they truly be yours 

Or mine 

Or anyone's 

Save them 

Before they can no longer see 

The wasteland of that 

Which begs to sleep 

In the fire of a new beginning 

To wash away the sands 

That bury them here-
