Open the window
Lock all the doors
Spill all your secrets
Onto the floor
Remember the bodies
Remember the war
Remember the wanting
And all we endured
Swallow the silence
Choke on the words
Blow out the candles
With all that you learned
Remember your sister
Remember her love
Remember the cancer
That filled up her lungs
I trusted you…
Bury the hatchet
Under your tears
We’ll run with the shadows
'til we disappear
