Six Feet Under

Six Feet Under

A Poem by Xander West

She called me last night to say one final goodbye,

Our voices were cracking as we cried together,

Each of us admitting even our love can die.


I feel like I'm living life 6 feet under the ground,

I'm struggling to even breathe down here,

For Everywhere I look, I see pain all around.


I watched her storm off from a safe distance away,

I sat back to witness the last sunset we ever shared,

All for I couldn't find the courage or the words to say.


I feel like I'm living six feet under the ground,

I'm struggling to even breathe down here

For everywhere I look, I see pain all around,

So I claw at the dark dirt above frantically in fear,

For only after losing it all, am I finally found.

 

I swear I saw you cross the street earlier today,

I wanted to stop the car, turn around just to say hi,

I simply couldn't keep these hidden feelings at bay.


I feel like I'm living six feet under the ground,

I'm struggling to even breathe down here,

For everywhere I look, I see pain all around,

So I claw at the dark dirt above frantically in fear,

For only after losing it all am I finally found.

Even after all this time, even after all the years,

My heart and soul belong to you, forever bound.

 

So I drive the streets every day and lonely night,

Hoping to catch a glance of your lovely smile,

Even when you aren't here, you are never far from my sight.



I feel like I'm living six feet under the ground,

I'm struggling to even breathe down here, 

For everywhere I look, I see pain all around,

So I claw at dark dirt above frantically in fear,

For only after I lose it all, am I finally found,

Even after all this time, even after all the years,

My heart and soul belong to you, forever bound.


I feel like I'm living six feet under the ground,

For everywhere I look, I see pain all around,

For only after I lose it all, am I finally found,

My heart and soul belong to you, forever bound, 

I'm living six feet under the ground.....
