loose lips sink ships drowned opium waltz (Remove filter)

softer days (06/04/2016)

I am an indentation where the vein belonged
I am a collapse of greatness, pride, and vanity
I am as empty as what remains 
I come for you without a name
because I insist to take yours

and so it was 
at the height of the depths
swallow'd
into the bitter waters of apathy
