Buried Deep

by Jack Nightengale   Jul 13, 2024


I'm done.
Two words.
One meaning.
Smoke it out.
Stop dreaming.
Get high.
Turn emotions off.
Cut it open.
Bleed it out.
Tried talking.
Now the shouting's out.
Pull the trigger.
Let the anger out.
Grab the drink.
Bring the shovel out.
Dig the Earth.
Set the tombstone.
Toss it in.
Set the flame up.
Place the dirt.
Snuff the flame out.
Get high.
Say a prayer.
Place a rose.
Go to work.
Faded thoughts.
I won't keep.
A vision gone.
Buried deep.
