peace within my grave

yet i hear the sound of your foot steps

surrounding me

echoes of hellos

resting your head on my leaves to hear me breathe

deep in the ground

waiting for me to resurrect

waiting for me to feel again

..waiting for me..

but ive made my peace

peace within my shallow grave

the grave you let me rot in

the grave created in your name

i hear you calling for me

..expecting me to rise..

how dare you

h o w d a r e y o u

how do you expect me to come back

..after all this time ive died..

my attempts

all of my attempts

my throat has collapsed after all this screaming

g e t m e o u t o f h e r e

my fingers

my bloody fingers are now bone and dust

my once pounding heart

is now maggot infested

and deprived of nutrients

one can scratch the walls for so long

that the numbness of my nerve endings

..is my only comfort..

how do you expect me to come back

when youre the one who buried me alive

youve nailed my coffin shut

my body chained with your lock

and the key has been swallowed

by you

..by you..

let me be and rest in peace

all i ever wanted was

p e a c e

the only peace ive gotten to know

is in a place i cant call home

lost in a forest of hatred

..where i cant be found..

b a n i s h m e n t

my banishment has become yours

...to endure..
