Self-dug grave

The silence falls upon deaf ears

bringing out my darkest fears

to never see you again

only then would hell begin

my faltering stride

bitter like the nectar I imbibe

fallen from grace, this much is true

if we reap what we sow, what can I do?

 

You move on in life, without a second glance

moved on to laugh and sing and dance

I have kept myself the same

hoping you will be back again

they say pride comes before the fall

is that why my tears are small?

 

My mind races when I remember you

it still give me something to do

to break the repition in my life

to quell my anger and end my strife

I wish for you to live for the best

to remember the good times

and forget the rest

 

Write words that make you forget

all the pain and all the grief

and cupids arrow, my heart does sheath

I still love you, and day to day

I still think about what I'd say

about how I love and how I care

but the hurt is too much to bear

my heart still trembles from the love you have

as I rot inside my self-dug grave
