I live in the shadows of cities

xqw

I lie in the shadows of cities

A ghost in the roads

A vampire's reflection

 

I am the roots of a tree

Buried deep in the cold

Trickling farther down

 

I am the salt in the water

That runs like veins through the world

I am heat in the air

That whispers and curls

 

I am the unseen universe

The silence before each breath

And the life after death

Which holds up the stars,

The darkness between,

And the weight of the world
