My Mouth Opened To Scream Hello

by Simshanti

Illustration from The Sims 4

my mouth opened to scream hello

but was drowned out by our last goodbye

air knocked from my lungs, i bend my neck and somehow sigh

this is where i’ve always been and where i’ll always be -

body sinking into saltwater with all the could-have-beens

and what may as well be left of me.
