~An Agonizing Script~

I've crawled and pushed my way
Through the mountains and over the plains
My fingernails are gone
My bones are worn down
And I've ran out of words to say

They pulled me out of the sea
And left me in the sand with nothing
Where I starved and clambered
Through the desert
With nothing but dirt to eat

Down the throat
Into the stomach
Making its home inside
Glass and rock
Crushed into grains
I have never been so satisfied

I walked with my eyes on her
Her eyes locked on the ocean
She made friends with the birds
And her legs continued growing

I can see the end
Me lying in the sand
All energy
Left as she
Grew wings and conquered the land

But I crawled
And scraped
Nothing left of my body
And the world forgot my name

Will my grave be this beach
With the sea
Mere inches out of reach
My calico darling
Nowhere to be seen

Tomorrow will come as open gates
