Remembering
September 6, 2008
We all laugh quietly
As you reap the consequences
Of reckless actions
We sing you a lullaby
As you woe
What you can no longer fix
And when you wish
That no one had done you wrong
We exchange looks
For you are too naïve
We shake our heads
As you gravitate
Towards your mistakes
For remembering is tempting
The toxic thoughts
Becoming an everyday thing
And when you see the light
You weep until dawn’s dewy call
We cradle your head in our arms
And give you a dose of sleeping pills
For remembering is what can get us in the end
