I Won'T Bury Me Again

I buried you before, I won't bury me again, Confusion has forgotten me as your friend. We buried your ashes six feet in the ground, and searched for you all over this damn town. I try hard to forget what it was like in the end, I buried you before, I won't bury me again. Why do I always try to remember your voice? Why did you feel like you had no other choice? Last night I thought I wouldn't survive, blame and resentment will bury me alive. I buried you before, I won't bury me again, I struggle everyday trying not to offend. I'm pulled under by the current, such strong waves, I wake up every morning and try to be brave. Believing such lies as I saw you try to pretend, I've buried you before, I won't bury me again. ~Written By: Laura Loo~ ~Date Written: February 2, 2016~

oh Luloo you must miss her so so much - keep on letting your emotions flow with your wonderful words - writing is so so cathartic I have found it has helped me so much through troubled times:-) hugs Jan xx
