Death is our Universal Heritage and I'm alive.

I can't sleep. 

I'm trying to train my body to this new time zone.

And I just finished texting a "boy" who was a "man" before the conversation 

started. 

HE MADE ME SO .... 

and so you know what I did.

I started comparing him to you.

in my mind after I turned off my phone and unplugged it.

And that isn't really that fair.

but it was honest. 

and I am trying to align those two things.

Fairness and Honesty.

You would understand that. You were my best friend for so long.

I visited cemeteries much more before you passed away.

And I lay here thinking...

and I can't sleep in this new home of mine, so I'm left thinking of you.

And I'm okay. I'll always miss you.

but tonight, its a little teeny tiny bit worse.

Dig me deep in the ground

cause i want to be close to you

you sleep like you'll never wake up

and i know, cause i'm dreaming too

dig you deep in the ground

cause you want to grow tall like we do

but you're roots are tying you down

and i know, cause i'm tied down too

When you have two feet on the ground

don't grow up, grow down

even when i sleep, 

i'm listening to my heartbeat

to tell me, i'm alive

i dug you out of the ground

cause apart of me died, when you died too

and you said time is all that we have

and i know, cause it's true.

 for experiences

 for emotions that are so dark, 

I feel more alive.
