Paper Spines

Built these walls
To watch the seasons show
The edges shift, but the hues still glow
The further out you stare
The less of it you keep
A subtle draft as the paths unwind
Its not about losing its about making room
For the songs unsung and the quiet bloom
The weight I've been holding was never my own
Just the shadow of seeds already sown
The room seems smaller though it stayed the same
A hollow echo where we wrote our names
I’ve been
Pushing these dark thoughts out of my
Mind and
Letting go this weight we can’t rewind
So let the books lean on and the papers fade
Let the clocks tick slow on what we once made
I don't need to keep what was never mine
Some stories end in their paper spines
I’ve been
Pushing these dark thoughts out of my
Mind and
Letting go this weight we can’t rewind
There's beauty in breaking
a kindness in the cracks
A space where light can fight on
Just to find its way back
Let the books lean on and the papers fade
The clocks tick slow on what we once made
I don't need to keep what was never mine
Some stories end in their paper
I’ve been
Pushing these dark thoughts out of my
Mind and
Letting go this weight we can’t rewind
There's beauty in breaking, a kindness in the cracks
The space where the light can fight on, to find its way back
