My Fingers Eat Dirt

My feet drowned water
My fingers ate dirt
My mouth failed filth 
My heart beat yours
             While trying to kick habits
             You silenced my life 
             Suffocated spring rain
             Melted snow white pleasure
             Innocence excluded
My eyes burned charcoal 
My toes grew deep roots 
My waist encircled 
Your hate with metal 
       Today your cold bed 
       Will wither and wilt away 
       The story I needed to tell you 
       I take with me without regret 
       Our story ends here. 

                               Mine now begins.
