I can't explain
Why
I've only ever felt alive
In your presence,
And how dead
I feel
In your absence.

It always comes back
To you,
The Hopeless waiting,
And
The Constant overthinking.

While you held
On to your pride,
As you pushed me
Aside,
And buried me
In the graveyard
Within your heart,
Leaving me behind.

I stayed,
I always stayed
Waiting for you,
God knows
How much I've
Waited
For your return.

Waiting for you
To come back,
To remember me,
To unbury me
To hold me
In your arms
Once more.

I waited
For you to notice,
To tell me
You were sorry
For burying me
In your past.

I was
so afraid,
So alone,
Suffocating
Beneath
The ground
Of your
Unspoken words.

Hoping you'd
Hear my screams,
Telling you to
Pull me out
From below.

Did the memory
Of me
Ever haunt you?

I'm tired
Of
Haunting,
Looming around
Your absence.
Wondering
When I'll ever
Be enough
To be unburied.
