#bury poems on Hello Poetry

y i k e s Dec 2014

every memory you left is in a box

with the lid glued on
to keep them trapped inside

a hole is waiting for the box
in the yard

and it's hungry for every single memory of you

are you ready to be buried?

so long & goodbye
i won't miss you

tuesday

it was tuesday
when our physics teacher told us
you weren't coming back anymore.
"what?", i said.
i didn't hear him right,
i convinced myself.

they went on talking about the dates
and funerals
and wakes
but i didn't hear a word.

all i heard was the violent beating of my heart
and the rhythmic pounding of my head
and how i never, ever wanted to feel this way again.

and i wondered, if they knew,
that they'd have to bury me soon, too.

wait for me i'm almost there

Blankets

I want to bury
myself under
these warm blankets,
and wrap myself in your
strong arms.
Help me forget the
rest of the world today;
I don't mind if you
steal my breath,
I'd rather you
have it anyways.

Bury me, Mother

Small, grainy dirt clings to my toes.
The chill of the wet ground syphons
the heat from my feet. I feel my nose
freeze in mid air, a drop of liquid ice
sliding down its bridge in silent testimony.
I step once. The soft cannot shatter. Twice.
The cushions beneath me would not break my fall
for surely I would drop below the ground
to sleep in frozen fire in my six foot stall
that I fill now with handfuls of clay
Just to feel the hug of my Mother.
My body shall return to her; my soul will rot away.

when i die

when i die
bury me with butterflies,
cut my veins open
and fill them with your sedated sighs.
when i die
play bloodbuzz ohio,
and twirl and laugh.
kiss me on the cold cheek,
tell me how much you'll miss me
and my drowsy eyes
my cautious conscience
my satirical stares,
and long nights that didn't seem so long
when i die,
bury me with butterflies,
2 weeks of life is all they need;
and so do i.

Sheets, Blankets, And Pillows

Bury myself,

In a heaven,

Made of sheets, blankets, and pillows.

Cradle my weary body,

Aching muscles,

Tired mind.

Engulf and swallow my every inch of being,

Embrace my every inch of flesh.

Bury myself,

And all my thoughts.

And let my troubles and woes,

Melt into the seams and stitches,

Let my burdens and confusion,

Disappear amongst the threads.

Bury myself,

And sink into a world of dreams.

I need quiet

I want to bury myself in books; to not be here.
There is a gnawing at my heart that
will. not. stop.
There is a pain in my soul; a weight upon my chest; an edge to my voice-- a falter in my wall of defense.
I cannot bear this weight of stupidity radiating out from the immature idiots surrounding me.
I cannot exist in such an environment.
I need to go
I need to go
I need to go
I am tired
I am weary
I am DONE.
Shut up.
Stop
Just
Stop.
I cannot eat.
I cannot function.
They are a detriment to my very existence.
What chaos leaving Chaos has erupted in my present day.
You are so childish, so rank, so foolish.
Grow up.
Grow up and leave me.
I need to go
I need to go
I need to go
Escape.
Escape.
I need to be alone.
There is a groaning in my bones that cannot be quiet.
Quiet
QUiet
QUIet
QUIEt
QUIET
I need
*quiet.

Settling.

I settle for pain instead of happiness,
and sink myself in the abyss of darkness.

I settle for the lack of conversations,
and rather not voice what I want to say.

I settle for the winter than the summer,
where I cave myself in my own comfort zone in blues.

I settle for indies than dynamic music,
for songs describe me for who I am.

I settle for the silence and surrender,
and hope to be buried 6ft under ground.

I settle for death,
for being alive is too painful and I'm barely breathing.
