I stare at the six-foot-deep hole in the ground, where my body now lies. I feel its coldness… “Am I relieved, or am I scared?” I ask myself, as if I knew the answer. I ponder and wonder, watching those who bury me. “Are they happy I died? Are they glad I disappeared?” These thoughts flood my mind. All I ever gave them was warmth… But was it enough? Was I enough? Did they expect more? Do I still owe them the now-inexistent warmth I once held? Or can my wandering soul finally rest? Can I bury myself in peace—without regret? … I hope so.

I buried myself to keep you warm
I stare at the six-foot-deep hole in the ground, where my body now lies. I feel its coldness… “Am I relieved, or am I scared?” I ask myself, as if I knew the answer. I ponder and wonder, watching those who bury me. “Are they happy I died? Are they glad I disappeared?” These thoughts flood my mind. All I ever gave them was warmth… But was it enough? Was I enough? Did they expect more? Do I still owe them the now-inexistent warmth I once held? Or can my wandering soul finally rest? Can I bury myself in peace—without regret? … I hope so.
