The coffin lowered into the dark ground.
Her eyes shut tight
unwanted goosebumps appeared
She exhaled shakily
breath visible and icy
as the air around her.
The coffin fully disappeared inside
her gaze was dragged elsewhere
focused on what only she could see.
A boy
pale skin
violet lips
he leaned against his own grave
dead.
His swollen lips twisted up in a grin.
Her gaze tore away
eyes stared blankly into the body sized void.
If only
the darkness would be so kind
to swallow her
as it had the coffin.
She stepped forward
one more step
and her too alive body
would have fallen inside
dead.
Moisture peppered in her eyes.
A tear slipped down her cheek and
disappeared into the darkness.
