My Grave


I've dug two graves for us my dear, one on top of the other, tonight I rest in mine, the last time you'll see me, was 5 months ago, now the only person left at my final resting place. It is, The "You can talk to me" friend, The "I'm here for you" friend, The quietly there for me friend. Left overnight next to the place I put myself in, On purpose.
