"DEAD BUT NEVER BURIED"

I steeled myself
to the coldness of her arms.

I turned my back
to the harshness of her heart.

In other times
she was warm
carefree
so full of life.

But she died
many years
before they laid her
in the ground
without a sound.

She died many years ago
but was never in the ground.
