Six Feet Under

He always seemed so far away

As if there were thousands of miles

Of distance between us

But in reality it was the history

That was made with his previous lovers

That would always lie between us,

Sit between us on dates,

Even between our fingers

Whenever we touched

That built the barrier

I could not reach him

No matter how hard I tried

I truly wanted to save him

But his past weighed him in too deep

He was already drowning

I could taste the regret on his lips

Mouth to mouth resuscitation

Would not bring him back

His gaze was empty

His touch was cold

And my body warmth

Could not sustain the both of us

He had died so many times before me

That I was running out of ways to revive him

“Six Feet Under”
