Oasis

HAUNTED

In boxes above the ground bodies cluster together, old bones shoved aside to make room for new ones

Bloodlines rotten and entangled

Houses like tombs,layers upon layers of peeling paint, hiding little tragedies 

Scorch marks from fire

Waterline on wallpaper

These are the tombs of the living 

When we rot in the memories of the dead 

Crowded with people we have failed and those we failed us 

We are forced to struggle with those we love
