Austin

Your words caved into my heart

Collapsed my chest

You stunned me with your lips

And I woke up in a crypt

It’s dark in this grave that you put me in,

And I wonder how deep you buried me

Will I ever again see the light of day?

Or am I left down here to decay?

We built a home in a coffin,

And I was sucked by a sinkhole to the center of the Earth.

You watched me drown in blackness as

I descended into eternity without you.

But this is what you wanted,

And what you wanted was not me.

Deep inside, as I cried, your sorrow façade became clear to me.

Goodnight world, and to people like you.

Maybe down here, I won’t be hurt again.
