You wear good years on your eyelids, weighs them down and keeps your secrets. Forget names you gave all your things and pray you spent your whole life praying to God, or praying at all. I pumped every red cent I had into hoping when you woke youâd still remember me. I cursed all the bricks in our house and the dirt in our yard until it did cover me. Now I just donât sleep anymore, and plans just donât keep anymore, and hands just donât cling anymore, and I barely sing anymore unless I sing you to sleep. It makes me think of all that couldâve gone wrong, but somehow you found me. It helps me forgive the terrible things, the cruelty of time, the waiting around. I cannot forget. Though itâs going to end, Iâm so glad you found me. I canât keep your heart from stopping. It weighs me down, it keeps me honest. Trading grins with death like old friends, clawing heels of loved ones first passed. I canât keep your heart from stopping at all. Cold wind keeps me feeling something. Passing years, not all for nothing. Iâll see you return in all things beautiful and never feel alone.
