My Heart-Shaped Box

Digging your own grave

Why fill us with your spiteful lies,

and malicious words.

Why can’t you look us in the eye,

instead of always looking away.

You are digging your own grave.

And as the casket is lowered into the ground,

there will be no flowers covering the dirt,

and no mourners standing by,

just the deafening silence,

that will fill your selfish soul forever.

I’ve been warned of your wild ways and beliefs,

but just too blind I stepped into you trap.

Covering the truth,

with rosy stories and niceties,

you held me in the dark,.

But now you are digging your own grave,

and as the dirt is covered over,

there will be no words of god,

no sobs from the crowd,

just an empty space surrounding your tainted grave .

I always gave you a second chance,

too worried and unsure to see the truth.

I was used and abused,

by your thoughtless actions.

Never allowing me to leave and walk away,

from something, I could never love.

So now you are digging you own grave,

and as the sun sets on a miserable graveyard,

there will be no footsteps walking sadly away,

no gentle cries of despair…

…just me.
