Life

A cruel curse

Where all you wanna do is go in reverse

It takes on many forms

And you get lost in its storms

Using your body like an instrument

Forcing you into a delirament

Creating triggers of sensations

And leaving you in unknown locations

It breathes in five forms

Attacking you in swarms

The scent of a loved one

Long after their time is done

The sight of beauty

Being taken over by cruelty

The taste of sweets

Wrapper is thrown onto the streets

The touch of a kiss goodbye

As they spill a lie

The sound of laughter

While you're stuck on the same chapter

Life a curse

That we all thrist

Thriving in the pain

Just so we can remain

But remember

There is always December
