S   o when I die, burry me inside the deepest of graves   farther than six-feet-under, because if I’m that close   I won’t behave. I’m too close to him, through the earth   I feel his sins, and they keep me alive until T   omorrow. When the quiet life subsides, there’s no blue   left in the sky, and the life we thought we lived was just   a happy little lie. **** affection, I don’t need it, all my   lies will supercede it, and I don’t need some therapist O   ver-analyzing my thoughts, because I’m already dead.   Love was just a word we made up to feel better about   the holes in our shoes and the ones in our hearts, and   maybe I’m not over him, but I’m over the thought of him R   eaching out and grabbing my hands, he’s a boy, not   a man, and he’s too afraid to whisper ‘I love you, too’   because he’s too busy trying on a new pair of running   shoes, and I know he won’t ever love me, even though G   od and him both tell me to wait and see, and I know he   won’t stay, even though he swears he’s anchored to me   and I know when the sun sets, he’ll be nowhere to be found   just burry me at least seven feet under the ground, ‘cause the E   arth will love me more than him, and the frigid temperatures   will remind me where I am, and the sun will bleed down promises   (not so empty this time), and my corpse will be the breeding ground for new life. I don’t love him, but I’m glad he killed me… I always wanted to be a flower. Now I get to be a whole bed of them.
