buried alive

She feels farther away then I could have ever imagined

And it scares me so much that she doesn’t need me

Not a last glance

Or passing note

Not even kiss goodbye

She has sailed her boat

She wants nothing at all,

And even then I have failed her

These zipped lips are breaking out

My heart is damaged and longing

These lungs are blackened and wishful

I wait for each body organ to shut down on me

I need a new horizon where the sun never shines

Certain things never die,

They simply get buried alive.
