Dead and Alone
April 15, 2014
Kids laughing
having fun
me
laying here
dead as a rock
though rocks aren't dead
no one can find me
I'm hidden
buried
deep beneath the earths crust
I'm writing this
as my soul
seeps out of the ground
and watches my unbreathing
cold
dead body
flowers are layed above me
people are weeping
why?
no one like me
why now
why me
leave me alone
I'm dead as a tree
though
trees aren't dead
don't weep
don't die because of me
you never liked me
now you do?
I'm dead
dead as dead can be
I'm alone
alone as alone will ever be
