buried alive
memory: his face, my car
promised certainty
subliminal chisel began to carve
engraving his essence deeper than scars
trust follows blindly
reality bends
white knuckles clutch tightly
stumble back where it began
streets of nostalgia
wake in a cold sweat
daunting alchemy
clenched at the crux
I loved you
I love you
I loved you
I love you
from the roots in my coffin
polluted oxygen
crooked key in a locket
disintegration of dreams
plucked as petals
needled with string
fingers pick away threads
grievous hole in my chest
harrowed and hollow
swollen knots swallowed
still more life to borrow
lacrimal maggots of sorrow
I loved you
I love you
I loved you
I love you
my screams ricochet within this grave
