The Light We Cannot See

How would you describe, what you’re too scared to feel? The salty ocean waves you love to crash against, burning the cuts on your feetThe quiet sunrise you love at mountaintops, now chilling your skin bone deep..

EarthQuakes

I can feel your ground rumbling from miles away. Your eyes, turning a degree colder, with every inch of friction you face. Your tectonic plates, shivering, with every loss you take.
