A piece of never-before-read prose about my former best friend. |
Keep you buried in my heart When it hurts the most I feel you closest I saw you frozen in a picture I hold you there with me forever Feeling cold and feeling broken I carry on from day to day Each growing pain will make me stronger Pain is all a part of living And I know most of life is waiting But how can I hold on much longer? You said that I was just someone For good cheap clean generic fun You called me just your baby sister Only one of many others Who’ve come and gone And you must move on So move on But I keep you buried It takes all my strength to breathe To the world my best kept secret I keep on laughing through the pain The ordinary’s not the same I feel abandoned and defeated I hold your picture in my hand A single moment in ten million I hear us laughing in my mind But that was once upon a time The moment died when time killed it And in my dreams I hold you close Those are the dreams I hate the most I devour you when I am sleeping Wake up alone and aching To touch the one Who’s come and gone I know you’re gone But I keep you buried And I cry every time you go I love you more than you could know I’d give up my life to defend you How can I be just a friend who’s Come and gone But I must hold on So I hold on And I keep you buried Keep you buried in my heart Keep you frozen in a moment I breathe again and carry on Sometimes life is just too long When it hurts the most I feel you closest |
