Six Feet Under

Day by day
I dare not say
On how it feels
To not say what needs to be spoken
So here is the token
For the gate
Sic feet under

I feel the feelings he feels
As I kneel above him
Trying to deal with the guilt
Of what they had done

It feels as though
The smell of soil
Is in my nail
And the weight of the earth
Is pressing down on me
For he got the key
To the gate
Six feet under
