bury me

My two left feet on the floor
You memorized when I was young.
You remember it as you bury me.
You found me lying motionless.
There was no fault of yours to that mistake.
So why’d you keep weeping relentlessly?

I took your hand when I was scared.
I remember how it all began.
The danger was right beside me.
My heart was overwhelmed with love.
You gave me way too much.
Then you cruelly turned your back to me.

After burial, wearing black would be your white.
You remember shallow words and a sea of stares.
They all thought that it was wrong to see off a young soul.
You believe I’m to blame.
Curse me all night and day.
“What a selfish thing to do”, you say to yourself.

I’m still clinging to your leg,
Hoping, praying you won’t go.
That you could be my friend again.
With you it was always hot or cold.
It’s either rain or rainbow.
But then where’s the afterglow?

Photo album in your shaking hands.
My face you sip to numb the pain.
But then you go and throw it all away.
You only want to the see the good:
How I was all shiny and adored,
But all you see is you burying the last piece of me.

And there’s not a day that won’t go by
You remembering me all the time.
I’m a wound that won’t heal.
You can feel devouring hole
On your body, in your heart,
I’m undying imprint on your soul.
