are you like me
lying buried
all the earth
heavy upon you
have you fallen
as I have fallen
into a dark dirt
a rich decay
are you dead
as I am dead
here i lie
dropped
done
dead
do you know
are you a seed
as I am a seed
the soil will seep in
and split me apart
do you feel it too
in your breaking heart
this death is real
there is no light
no hope
no joy here
don’t sing a song
of a sweet little seed
she is alone
and dead
underground
all those who would sing
or celebrate or love
will have to wait up there
in the light above
she won’t be up
appearing
anytime soon
got some important
dying to do
maybe you have too.
