I've fought so hard for this
So stand your ground
I've tried too long to throw this all away.

One year.
One year ago I scrawled those lines
With cheeks so wet
Jaw clenched tighter than my fist.

Someone else’s home
Someone else’s lives
On top of ours.
We packed up and left that place
The hardest thing I've ever done.
Admit defeat.
Take a memory,
Put it in a box.
Repeat.
