I know that I can never go back but I have to admit that I would give anything to.

-Bury Me In Her Womb-

Bury me in her womb
I was only ever safe
When I was there
Not ever here
Not within myself
Not without her.

Bury me in her womb
Forever she is gone
Never again will she be
She is rotting refuse
In some unspoken tomb
A place unknown to me
A visitless wilderness kept.

Bury me in her womb
Naked trees cast much shade
Giant stones mark homes
Her location a secret unseen
Kept close by others
That have long since
Joined her deep within death.

Bury me in her womb
People that knew her before I
People that she called her family
A distinction that was never lent
I have become a twisted achievement
Of odds plotting against themselves
I was not meant to be and certainly
I was not meant to remain.

Bury me in her womb
Because when I was there
Is when she truly cared
When I was there
I was safe far beyond
The hands of fate
When I was there nothing
Could separate what we had.

Bury me in her womb
I want to go back
Whatever the price
However gross or obtrusive
It may seem to those
On the outside looking in
I care nothing for them
Because I know that they have been
Judging me from the very get.

Bury me in her womb
It was once said to me that I took her life
An unintended consequence of my own
She bled to death as I
Struggled for my initial breath
Easily our connection was cut
Slit from one end to the next
Tied into a double knot
And forgotten just as quick.

Bury me in her womb
After she was gone
After she bled to death
Her family somehow moved on
But certainly I did not
I have lived the entire sum
Of my life without her.

Bury me in her womb
I grew up and grew old
Never knowing her soul
Never feeling her touch
Or the kiss of her lips
All that I know of her
Was from the inside.

Bury me in her womb
Because for nine months
In there I was truly safe
And that is and has
Never been the case since
During that time her and I
Were connected on a level
That would never be again.

Bury me in her womb
I know sounds impossible
And damn near disgusting
But if it’s a choice
A most viable of option
Then please do what you must
And know nothing of regret
Because I can assure you
That is what I truly wish.

Bury me in her womb
Make it happen and I will
Forever find a sense of relief
Over all that has happened
I know that since the day that I left her
And the day that she left me
We have both been quite alone.

Bury me in her womb
So that both her and I
Are truly together again
As a mother and her child
Only then maybe we will
Finally have an ounce of such
Desperately needed peace…
