You shouldnt write off just me but everything- the scraps of paper in the street the grit & sand blowing in the wind the dust cloud smudge on windshield kitten prints the dried husk of a squashed frog the broken necklace on the ground the toy forgotten until its found. Nail in the coffin shut closed buried and forgotten no crack of light just a shoosh and thump of dirt hollow booms in heart burying in settling deep inside cold descends silence between the ears between the years silence the soft thump of still beating heart on auto thump thump thump no thought to live or breathe no thought to live but there continues life shut up inside Write me off dont pull me out leave me silent as stone freezing my bones nail in the coffin to rise or not time will tell to live or… to be remembered or forgotten.

Nail in the Coffin
You shouldnt write off just me but everything- the scraps of paper in the street the grit & sand blowing in the wind the dust cloud smudge on windshield kitten prints the dried husk of a squashed frog the broken necklace on the ground the toy forgotten until its found. Nail in the coffin shut closed buried and forgotten no crack of light just a shoosh and thump of dirt hollow booms in heart burying in settling deep inside cold descends silence between the ears between the years silence the soft thump of still beating heart on auto thump thump thump no thought to live or breathe no thought to live but there continues life shut up inside Write me off dont pull me out leave me silent as stone freezing my bones nail in the coffin to rise or not time will tell to live or… to be remembered or forgotten.
