I Lie Beneath

Here lies the one I loved,
Still love, can't unlove,
Here lies my sorrow,
And my,
My innocence.

With an angel,
Cold but moving,
That man, that ghost,
An angel guarding what rests.

With it they buried,
All my jurisdiction over
What I used to call 'My sense of self'.

It is, it is, it is, I can't.

Here lies, my sanity,
My spirit, my essence,
Here lies,
An empty, flawless grave.

A statue,
Alibaster skinned statue,
Corpse pale guardian,
Lifeless hearted,
Fast drumming hearted.

Here lies,
Nothing,
Nothing to me,
Here lies,
No body and no soul.

What I want,
Falsehood,
Lies, lies, lies!

Here lies,
What they never buried,
Can never death take,
Here lies what I never dared have.
