Soil of Your Soles

“Soil Of Your Soles”
Descending to the darkness beneath the dirt we call Earth
Disappearing from the eyes that asked so many questions
Becoming forgettable as if my life never existed at all
It’s nothing new to feel alone for I have been my entire life

Lowering myself into the vast abyss unknown to those without
Securing my dark box surrounding every inch of my being
No longer struggling to survive rather relishing life after
Here no one can hurt me or ignore these blue eyes begging for a hand

Under the world of anger and war the peace is undeniable 
Created to suffer by the hands of God I now live in eternal darkness
Pleasure of the loneliness I felt while lying in the green grass above
I now have the same feelings but with a smile underneath the crumpled ground

So here I lay beneath your feet not feeling your steps break me into dust
No longer breathing in your hatred nor pretending to be happy
I have succumbed to the darkness that has always pulled me towards it
I now embellish my everlasting life beneath the soil of your soles
