Heart shaped coffin

stitched my name into the floor,

Where all the echoes beg for more.

Your voice still sleeps inside the wall,

It hums my guilt and sings it all.

I’m just a bruise beneath the grin,

A needle kiss beneath the skin.

Lay me down in a heart-shaped coffin,

Dreams decay but the pain stays soft in.

Bury love where the light won’t go,

Heart-shaped coffin, take it slow.

You carved a smile across the rain,

Said every saint still feels the chain.

I traced your breath with dirty hands,

And built a church from broken plans.

We burn like ghosts who never fade,

Lost in the mess our minds have made.

Lay me down in a heart-shaped coffin,

Dreams decay but the pain stays soft in.

Bury love where the light won’t go,

Heart-shaped coffin, take it slow.

Ashes taste like silver wine,

I drink the dark to feel alive.

If heaven calls, don’t let me in,

I’ll find my peace beneath your sin.

Lay me down in a heart-shaped coffin,

All my words have gone and softened.

Bury truth where the wild things grow,

Heart-shaped coffin—

Let it go.
