"digging my grave deeper this time" this line gave me little goosebumps. So good. Keep it up.

The imagery in this poem is stunning, but what stayed with me most was the ending. The idea of leaving the grave only to return and dig it deeper is such a heartbreaking portrayal "My saviour who was not set in stone"- loved this line.Beautifully work.
