Burial Rites

Bury me with enmity
The soil sweetly drowns me,
Reminds me that I promised you
Bouquets I never got to shower you with.
Bury me with the memories
You asked me not to keep,
They're all I have of you
You wish I'd set them free.
Bury me with the shame
I burdened myself with on that day,
When I should have been your safety,
Instead your trust I betrayed.
