Before you kill me, first dig two graves; one for me and the other for my dreams!
You should only dig the first grave shallow, better to save your strength because you'll need it for the second. Make sure you dig that one deep! Cleave as far into the cold earth as you can go, until any worthless ghosts will be tightly gripped by the claws of damnation...

Note from the author: Originally written in 2003, "Graves" is part of a collection of works I call the "Reflect Project" as they are some of the earliest poems that I ever wrote, which I am now updating to modern day. Many of these were penned during a troubled time in my life, long before I turned to Mindfulness and Philosophy. They all serve to remind me of an important lesson I learned through my life, to help chart my journey... In this instance it's to avoid losing oneself in the pursuit of loving another
