I want to hold your hand Tight in my own As we run far away To a brand new home. I want to cup your face

Hi Dad. I’d like you to know I’m finally Unboxing each memory Framed

damp. damp and frothy and sticky upon

My heart Is a glass ball Delicate Awaiting somebody Who will cradle it gently

There are words that I was mistaken to say. There was one time when we were strangers,

Muddled footsteps In the dirt, Wind in our ears, The sun Shrinks down beneath

morning rays peeking through the c… dancing close to you quiet stories told in the dark sleeping in movie nights

i am unsure where you are in this night. it is cold it is dark

And we were always running never to but always from and always running... And we were always hurting never for but always from

Tired. So tired. My eyes fail and my soul gives up.

I’ll tell you to hold on tight, and we can be alone together in this nothingness. I’ll tell you to tell me a story, and we can laugh and cry together

I do not know All of the answers. I forget sometimes And I’m not always right. Don’t listen to me,

I’m sorry I never told you About why I was so nervous around… I’m sorry I never confessed Because you moved on, And I didn’t.

Empty eggshells Line the floor And you can’t walk across Or get to the door. You can’t reach your shoes,
