Laying Here

Here I lay in my misery. Quiet 
and dark I'm left with only my 
thoughts. I plot my next move, 
but I'm stuck in neutral. 
Drifting towards whichever way 
you force me. You always 
wanted to keep me at an arms 
distance away. You wouldn't 
accept my hand. I'm coming up 
with a plan to leave your 
memory behind. I wish it was 
as easy to do as it is to say. 
I've shed enough tears with 
your name on them. I'm 
digging a mental grave and 
burying you in it. I'll leave it an 
unmarked tomb and you can 
have that knife you left in my 
back. Here I lay in my misery 
trying to move on from you!
