Poem

Bury Me Deep

Bury me deep
Bury me deep,
where the pain cannot reach.
Sunset or sunrise 
it doesn’t matter.

I am but meat.
There’s not much left in me;
my brain is jumbling,
and I cannot speak.

This job may be the death of me 
too tired to think.
Each day is a struggle;
the passing trees swerve and tumble,
drawing me closer, they mumble.

I don’t feel human.
I feel less than I used to.

Hang me from your tree,
for my beloved to see.
Gaze upon what’s around so rarely 
here to stay, withered and empty.

I love you forever,
my love, my family.
