Gravedigger

By Phalanx

I don't remember so many things.
I love skeletons, people gone and dead.
They don't remember me.
Everyone moves on but, I'm always so far behind.
Late bloomer, walk about vagrant.
I live, I love, I lie, I walk in circles, I take chances.
I regret, I forgive, I ask for it.
That dangerous bet that glows and when you provoke him,
Shines.

Maybe, I've got it all wrong, more than likely.
Who knew sunshine could break ground.
