Bury Me

Bury Me By Laura Dee November 13, 2014 It comes and goes, But it's gone tonight So won't you stop and reimagine me? I'm giving in cause it feels so right It comes in waves that we'll never see The tide is low when we say goodbye So lie with me and see me as I'll never be The man behind these eyes will surely die Spending nights inside shadows of a burning tree If I numb my hands enough for you Will you meet me at the morning sun? If my burn these eyes from shades of blue Will you still see me as your only one? Don't close your eyes; I'm shooting blanks You may be scared but I am too Maybe I'll find just where you rank We'll burn into the smiles we drew Today the sands take back the earth We'll start anew; just me and you Just one more breath until we're through This ecstasy will make us new Happiness, I have been unfaithful Our loneliness has fueled this fire Still it feels like my heart is full Skin of wool shredded by desire I'm begging you don't give up on me You remind me of the future The one I couldn't see through the trees You make me remember the days when I was pure So maybe it's not the story of meant-to-be's But it's the only one I can feel with these hands My fingers are cold but they're wild and free No more disease on which we used to stand It comes and goes just like anything It comes in waves about to carry me Away from here and the suffering From everything I'll never be [Listening to "Drown" by Bring Me The Horizon]

You have plumbed the depths of love . . . the forgiveness that is sought is in sight . . . as the reader, I embraced the new beginning. Great poem
