The Coffin I Am In

THE COFFIN I’M IN I just want to die here. I just want to lie here Until I die here. I cried I died when I Learned I lay here, Lied Here with Someone I once Offered such trust, Believing his words Uttered and shuttered, But causing no hurts. Meanwhile, both of us Lied HERE adjacently, While HE lied and lied The entire time to ME? About Absolutely Everything ?That truly mattered to me! So this is “The Why,” Dears, I’m lying here, Dissolved in salty tears, For almost a year, While only anticipating And only awaiting The day that I die here.
