You Hold the Spade, I Hide the Hole

i buried love

Do you still feel this way?

 

All I have to say

Is I buried it

Off in a hole

I know where it is

But I will not go

For it’s not my hole

And you hold the spade

If you want it

Start digging

Before it fades

Decomposing

Under all this weight

But this is its fate

To never see the light of your face

The way it used to shine

But to answer your question its buried

And I am fine

The wounds are no joke,. and then... death.. a torrent of blood

[The Perfectionist]

I really like this one. The metaphor is simple and very effective, and you don't beat it to death as I feared you might. The imagery is strong and the whole thing flows very nicely.

I have one suggestion. Make 'Its buried' at the end a line of its own, so the poem ends like this:

"But to answer your question
It's buried
And I am fine"
