The Fighter, The Lover, The Poet

1,825 Days

Clean out the closet and find the scary skeleton that hangs inside

The body falls into my arms as my heart beats and beats

Light hits the ground

As I carry this embarrassing monster I used to hide

She is sound asleep so pretty and incomplete

She awaits another prey to slay and feast

It is too late to turn back and repeat

The crowd all stares in shock

They run through there closet to find there secrets they tightly keep

My body aches and my eyes burn

I dig and dig 11 feet to bury and lay to rest

Death as she sleeps (the shameless belief)

The crowd gathers to listen to the closing words

They stand alone dressed with disgust

Waiting to pour there dirt they hold with hopeless grief

Tears stream down my face as she lays

Clouds fill as the thunder begins to scare

I pour and pour all the dirt I held

Some turn back to store there bitter hell

As the rest sit with tears and begin to yell

“don’t be scared, Don’t be afraid”

1825 days but today we close this chapter of dismay

my heart breaks as I struggle to save her by grace

she lays alone, bitter and cold no hope for death

her grace was lost

they pull my hands out the dirt as I try to dig (they pull and pull)

they pull me away, so I can see… I can defeat.

Its free, so free I can finally sleep
