A streetlamp at night

The clouds stood high on the midnight sky
I’m freezing u said  
and went back inside
 
A deer was standing in the headlights  
off a street lamp
we looked at each other
and felt out of place
 
I thought it meant something
but he turned his head  
and ran away
the clouds were out of reach
 
What if I leave?
What if I don’t accept?
What if I don’t care?
 
Sticky trees grab my hands  
and lead my into the woods  
it’s dark here
and the ground below is slowly sinking
 
the moss is wet  
and it’s pulling me down and feeding me shrooms
 
when I’m covered
6 feet deep
I hear a pulsating heart
