What happens after...

There are some things we don't talk about, memories sealed in tiny metal coffins marked 'non-exhumable'. We cut the utilities, board up the windows of our hearts, condemn the whole goddam structure.

I was with my daughter when I realized you were gone for real. She saw my face so wet with pain she could have hydroplaned over my eyes. She told me not to cry, that she was still here...

I've moved on from asking why because I've been through this enough times to know by now that it's the one question I'll never have an answer to. But maybe you can help me with these:

The more I think about loss, the more I realize that a part of me was lost with you. A part of me died that day. So who do we become if we keep losing the ones we love? Empty hands and orphaned hearts?

And when we finally meet again, will they even recognize us at all?

How do I bury you six feet under in my frame when I only stand 5'4?"

Hold On We're Going Home

I got my eyes on you

You're everything that I see

I want your hot love and emotion endlessly,

I can't get over you

You left your mark on me

I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

Cause you're a good girl and you know it

You act so different around me

Cause you're a good girl and you know it

I know exactly who you could be

Just hold on we're going home

Just hold on we're going home

It's hard to do these things alone

Just hold on we're going home (home)

 

I got my eyes on you

You're everything that I see

I want your hot love and emotion endlessly,

I can't get over you

You left your mark on me

I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

Cause you're a good girl and you know it (oh yeah)

You act so different around me

Yeah you're a good girl and you know it

I know exactly who you could be

So just hold on we're going home (going home)

Just hold on we're going home (going home)

It's hard to do these things alone (things alone)

Just hold on we're going home (going home, going home)

You're the girl You're the one

Gave you everything I love

You're the girl You're the one

Gave you everything I love

You're the girl You're the one

Gave you everything I love

You're the girl You're the one

Gave you everything I love

We're going home

We're going home

We're going home

We're going home....
