I bury them in the garden

Bury those in the garden.

I push them down so hard that
they 'disapear'.

I forgot I did that. I do that,
Because I don't like being hurt. But
it hurts me, i know.

I understand
I still do it, and
it isn't stopping,

so I will watch as the trees that flower in the spring start to slow
and the plants that grow soft wilt
and the bushes that are tough start to dry
And i watch as my garden dies.
Bury them in the garden

As they disapear they are Not gone

They will hurt you still.
But.

I bury them in the garden.

  • Succulent

    There is a small plant that sits on the corner of my life.

    It is a tough little plant;
    I have not watered it.
    I do not give it soil, but I do take it, and throw it to the wind.
  • List

    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded
    You succeeded but you failed

    You are above their bar and below yours
    You survived but you do not celebrate

    They say you reached for the stars.
  • Dying songbird

    Please don't leave me, you dying songbird.

    Your song is still beautiful, no matter the notes, no matter the order
    Please don't leave your rusting cage via shoebox, friend.
