Damn Wires 01:42
At night I find myself sleepless in the sheets. Covers pulled tightly around me in hopes that the fear doesn't catch up. I lie awake for hours wondering if I could have changed your damn mind when we were sitting in that waiting room filling out those papers. This was the first mistake I had ever made. My mouth was dry for weeks. I couldn't speak of it. You made me into what I am today. Somewhere in the midst of May. I couldn't help myself if I wanted to. But I'll be okay. I always have been. These damn wires are pulling at my guts.

Through 00:34
I was standing in the back room of that Goddamn apartment when you told me that we were through that we could never last and you took a part of me swore you would never leave.

He took the stage to speak what he believed was true. Remembering all the times he lied. My Mother dare not speak; her eyes filled with tears and they slide. Father held in his anger with his fists clinched tightly; brushing his hand across the love of his life. We raised the casket higher, one by one stepping toward the lowly depths. We lowered him down saying our goodbyes. "He would have been so proud to see you in that suit." But I just couldn't see it, I don't understand. And he lived his life that way in the shitty part of town with no one who cared. But still the seasons continue to change and no one really speaks of that time anyway. That's the last I heard. "He would have been so proud" But he's not here anymore. It doesn't mean its not true.

I was barely ten years old early in the month of May and I remember the things they used to say and how it's never been the same since he passed away. it's never been the same. Few stand strong for so many years. There we saw the foundation of a well lived man. Deserving of so much more, but very little was given. The passing of a man whose heart was right; And all the people cursed his name. They buried him beside the highway in that old cemetery near the tracks. And I still look that way when I drive by. Sometimes I stop and pray to a God that I hope knows my name.
