Jessica Wang

lost in the thicket of insincerities, insanity
the dried-up days they cast away
wait for

golden strands made rare in my misery
spirits away, they never stay
lost in the thicket of insincerities, insanity

sparked flames of jealousy
all they ever do is take
wait for

a hammer for the
hourglass they stopped in may
lost in the thicket of insincerities, insanity

turns decades into mystery
left abandoned, swallowed whole they
wait for

embers fading like the dying
search for yesterday
lost in the thicket of insincerities, insanity
wait for
