Buried

Staring at the blades spinning above me,
The fan lazily sticking like a vulture.
I haven't moved from this spot in hours,
Music dancing in the background,
My grief burying me underground.

Words won't slip past my lips,
I've only said 10 so far today,
Not even looking at the person they were directed to.
It's like I've forgotten how to speak.

The dishes and garbage are burying me,
A visual of the reckless exhaustion in my body, heart, and mind.
I can't bring myself back to the surface,
And I just want you to be by my side again.

Please.
Come back.
