There's a Cemetery Behind Your House
By Fading_Smile
The discouragement of dial tones that mimic one-syllable laughter
I always was a green light away from serenation
with a single click you detonated my frayed summer
and I crawled into the corner of a circle, consumed by depression
I found the corner of a circle to sulk in
I dug a hole to escape society
accomplishing nothing but life closer to hell
I fertilized seeds with tears, a rose garden above me
I waited for their roots to delve deeper, so I could strangle myself
Why did I always feel like your thorn?
Maybe next time you see a flower
you will remember I'm buried in your backyard
spades of acquaintances striking ground so sour
you still have the shovel to uncover my heart
I guess that's why you don't buy milk anymore

A slightly Steven King twist struck me in the end. "I guess that's why you don't buy milk anymore..." Brilliant line if only I knew the meaning behind it....`Div
