I lost you on a Friday
I burried you on a Saturday
I cried myself to sleep on Sunday
And faced the world on Monday

Tuesday had me numb
On Wensday I could barely stand by
Did you see me, that Thursday night?
Know I tried, but on a Friday I died
Laia Blackthorn Apr 2023
On an empty room
With a flickering light
I saw your ghost
For the first time

He looked like you
And it broke my heart
To see you so close
Yet so far apart

I wanted the screen to fade to black
I wanted the ink to run out
But he didn’t disappear
and I couldn’t lose you twice

Our dreams didn’t leave
Just because you did
I now bore them alone
knifed deep in my bones

The world kept moving
Even if mine had stopped
When all is said and done
Grief is the price we pay for love

So I went forward
fought to stay strong
Even on those days, months
When it felt like I had lost

It was time to let you go
knew one day we’d meet at heaven’s door
The lonely, untravelled road
Didn’t seem so scary anymore

On a crowded home
With bright lights
I saw your ghost
For the last time.

For so long you wish you could have said
something
But you know how it starts,
you know how it goes,
Eventually, they call it

I am woman and I handle pain,
I've done it a thousand times over
I never complain

Feel the power you tried to take
You called it meaningless
I call it courage every day

Mine is no forgettable name
So look into my eyes
And feel all my rage

Remember the day
Woman I became

We are going off the road
And we need to get out now
This car is gonna crash
And we might not survive

Lock the “I'm sorry's”
Deep in your soul
And let the song ring out
its last note

Hold back your tears
Don’t make a sound
Were hanging of a cliff
We need to say our goodbyes now

Forget all my laughs
And heartwarming smiles
Let me be another
You leave behind

Its time to drop our hands
And keep going on our own
This ride has come to an end
One more verse and it’s done

Turn the engine off
And close the door
Step by step we leave this place
And never come back here again

Someone's story just ended in
page fifty-three
The pen fell and no one can pick it up to
start again
The last goodbye is an unfinished line in
chapter eight
Phantom words will be this story's only
friend
"Hello" is now forgotten where the ink bleeds
"the end"
Nobody knows when their acknowledgements go next…

Somewhere along the line, you changed.
You build walls all around you
and wore armor against the world,
You guarded your heart so well you could behave as though you didn't have one at all,
Even now, it's a shabby broken thing
but you still have it.
Not a heart of stone nor of ice,
But a fragile heart of glass
Sharpened through all its edges to stop anyone from getting in,
To stop the pain from getting out,

I understand why you wear armor,
That's why I wear it too.
