i am malignant and i am constant
and i am a mirror looking into the next
and i can only see what is in front of me
and in remembering, i have found
that every last word will make a harsh sound
by the time it reaches your ears
from atop a mountain, i have claimed
the answers to questions too scared or ashamed
to even whisper out
but i shouted loud at your tombstone
and asked your ghost to show
so i could make out your silhouette against the sunset
one last time
but maybe this time i will follow,
i will venture and i will never let your heart win
(do you hear it?)
my chest feels like an empty room of an open wound
oh, and my frozen hands keep dragging at the past
and i'd like you to settle up and move
like everyone else who stood down
and laid before me like a sacrifice
