2023 will be the missing year; the year of rest. This year is a year of change. Transition. The end of an era. The start of another. The end of one season. The birth of a new one.
I braced for it with my eyes shut Took a minute ‘fore my feet went up Love tore through me like a tidal wave Ripped me open when I saw your face
No more questions now as we lose trust What’s the future for the two of us? Take divorce and make it macro scale Every person saw how we both failed
Watch my brothers want a different way Waves come push them as they ran away Bless my sisters following the tide I’ll be underwater left behind
Pinched my brows as someone took my hands We went with the rolling water dance Let the sadness take a different shape Fought to forge a heart that had more space
When I opened my eyes I looked up I was in the arms of one I love With acceptance, I’m a different shape ‘Round the grief, I think I have more space
To love - again Sign up - again To heal - again And when It happens again I’ll tell all my friends It wasn’t just the water or my lungs that kept me It was being loved by family
I think I might want something new A deeper love than I’m used to
has it been a year already? no, not yet but half of one feels just as long when everything feels different i wish i had more answers than i did then but i just have more questions
sometimes knowledge isn’t power it’s muddy the more i know, the less is clear the more that stays in me i wish i had more answers than i do now but i’m still searching for them
i’m sorry you’ve spent the past seventeen birthdays alone the passage of time has stolen so much from you where are your loved ones? only pictures on the wall, watching they can’t hug you like you wish they could
i’m sorry they’re not here the passage of time has stolen so much from you i know it feels safer to cry alone, with no one watching but it makes the pain hurt all the more
