Buried

Eyes flip open to the sound
Of  all the bugs beneath the ground
Chewing on my rotting skin
Working their way deep within

I can feel it - everywhere
I can't get them out of there
They didn't even leave a light
None of this is sitting right

Don't get me wrong - there is no pain
But the chewing sounds drive me insane
If only they would go away
Then I could think, and be okay

But they won't leave me alone
Out of flesh, they'll eat the bone
There'll be nothing left of me
Unless I can get myself free
