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.
