a child once existed, he never really left he just learned to hide a little better he wanted peace instead, he got me asking how do we know when we are lost? how do we know? there was a girl a lily in the garden i unfurled her blossom with a kiss that i can still taste what happened to yesterday? it got lost in the tomorrow her gentle movements and the touch of her hand a voice to my shell but a whisper to my core he's silenced now still reaching out for her how do I live on? how am I not forgotten? how do I live on? goodbye
