Story from the Dead

Close the lid

I didn't want to be seen like this

My skin white as fresh snow

My eyes vacant as a starless night

This was never the plan

To watch as you cried

All because I couldn't stay alive

Bury me in the rain

Close my eyes, I'm too ashamed

Inside I know you can't see me here

I'm right beside you 

I promise, I swear

I just wish you knew

This was never the plan

To watch while you cried

All because I couldn't stay alive.

[Gem-muziqprincess]

This poem is so deep, a poem that has been written from a different perspective. Beautifully written.
