"Untitled" by Anahi Moreno

You’ll drown dear. You’ll drown

When you are high in the sky

Under the crushing weight of unfulfilled promises,

You’ll drown dear. You’ll drown

Deep in the earth

Among the footsteps of Elysium,

Heroes and martyrs,

You’ll drown dear. You’ll drown

Beneath the call of sirens,

The ghost of chains and deceit.

You have been warned.
