When Graveyards Feel Like Home

I put us in the ground before we ever had a chance

Buried you in my backyard

with all the other things that scare me

Nothing blooms where it's planted

But I can see your hands reaching up from the soil

Tree like branches trying to meet the sun desperately

Shut the door, close the blinds, go with what you know.

I never thought seeing myself so clearly

in someone else’s eyes would make me run so fast.

I was never really afraid of you

Just the girl staring back at me I saw in your eyes.
