A Love Now Dead

A Poem

By Elise Published 4 years ago 1 min read

I know why you're here

leaving flowers at our grave

you're too afraid to admit it

stubborn as always

no one can know

about your dirty little secret

you want to feel my love

but you're too afraid to keep it

you believe it can't be so

the logic isn't there

but I know how you feel

I feel the same despair

if you want to revisit 

all that was buried

say it now spit it out

it's become much too heavy

uncovering our remains

your heart breaks at the sight

our love now is gone

vanished beneath moonlight

I'm a thing of the past

no one can understand

so you begin to weep for lost love 

that died at your hand

you let it die

so let me let go

put it all to rest 

don't dig up our past

just to relieve 

your loneliness

a secret you keep

the love you hide

bury it again

where no one 

can find it
