I Dug My Way Back to Her

Six feet down don’t hold regret, You learn the truth when your sun has set I heard her cry, I felt her ache, So I clawed through pine and rock and wake

I dug my way back to her, Not for peace, not for grace But to touch her hand one final time, Before the world forgets my face

The roots were thick with years gone cold, The soil don’t speak, but it still holds She lit the lantern every night — I followed smoke, I followed light

I dug my way back to her, Gravel in my breath and blood No heaven called, no hell could bind — Just love left buried in the mud

She never moved on… So neither did I

I dug my way back to her, Flesh long gone, soul worn thin But I’d rise a hundred lives again Just to see her let me in
