Beneath, as Above

I’m scared of the dark.

I’m scared of the unknown.

I’m scared of the void,

I’m scared of being lost,

I’m scared of leaving.

But one day I’ll be six feet under,

Resting in the dark,

Unknown of what surrounds me,

The space I leave behind

Felt only by the ones who love me.

Will you sit by my grave then?

Afraid that you’ve lost me,

Afraid that I’ve gone,

Afraid because I’m all alone beneath -

As I was above.
