Buried

Your soul

is buried under your skin

Miles and miles deep

Your heart stops

behind your words

Your failure to speak

Speaks volumes

There are leagues and seas

Between

your heart and your mouth

Oceans of questions

Winding rivers of fear

Your mind

And your heart

Have been so

Apart

For so long

You can’t care

   if you don’t know

   that they’re really there

Numbness your trademark

and blindness your crutch

You are always alone

    because

    you

           are not

    really

    you
