six feet deep

I would not have been so convinced
Of your commitment
If I had not felt
You were the first partner
To have made me feel genuinely
Supported
And I guess that is why
I felt so blind-sided
Seeing myself ignored and
Turned away
Especially having been
So scared of
All of the red flags
Suggesting the same sort of
Isolation
Or negative mindfulness
Leading to
The fear
Another one of my loves
Will end up with their
Flesh torn apart
By their own hand
Resting at least six feet deep-
The furthest you can get
From letting me love you
