dirt

they wanted me to stay there
just stay there
they'd already dug my grave
our hands covered in their lies
we piled on the dirt
though i was begging- dying to be saved
convinced i wasnt convinced
coming up for air- a plain of dirt
endless holes
hunched bodies standing there
they wouldn't look me in the eyes
i learned to look down
they covered me in a heavy things
they made them watch, as I slouched
i made it back to the warmth
he was relieved, but upset that I was hurt
i shared the tale about you the boy
who almost buried me in dirt
he was the one I waited for
the hope I'd always held
the one who brought me back to life
the reason the dirt never settled
we went back to the plain
my history with dug holes
we planted a seed in each one
to replace the life they stole
