6 Feet Beneath

by @Cardboard_Jones

How many days have slipped through your fingers like the wind? Did you notice? Did you feel it? It’s like this feeling inside Makes you feel like you’re going nowhere, And nothing matters. What if I caught you stargazing And ran into your arms, Would you see then what I always see? I’d look into your eyes and tell you The stars have been here all along. It’s easy to say everything’s going to end. Especially when you can’t see where you started. It’s safer to say that we are all alone. So before your heart becomes your grave site And you’re buried six feet beneath the ground. You didn’t lose your shine, You just forgot where you put it. You didn’t abandon your shine, You just overlooked it. Bring those starry eyes back And see what I’ve seen all along.
