Burial

Today we bury the hatchet

Third times the charm

Can I finally get past it?

The pain, the harm?

We’ve tried this once

And then again

Now makes thrice

My old friend

Last I saw you

What could I do?

You didn’t even fight,

Though I hoped you might

It’s over now

Though I don't like how

You’re at peace

And that gives me ease

I’ve tried before

To lay you in the casket

I’ll falter no more

My good boy, Hatchet
