why you did it
still escapes me
but nothing else matters
now
all that savings
for better lives,
vows and memories
don’t make it any
easier
some kind of relief
or reassurance
would be great,
but i know there’s
nothing you could say
or do to fully
convince me
i hope It has
my nose or eyes,
but surely It has
your voice
… guess we’ll see
for T.W. & L.W.
--
the ones that teach you,
who lift you up over
their heads
in good faith,
these are their stories.
