n°5 blackberry stone

I'd be sad that I never hold your hand as you were lowered
but I'd understand that I'd never let it go.

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered
but I'd understand that the world does what it does.

But I whisper that I love this man.
now and for forever:

To your souls as it floats out of the window.
To the world that you turned your back on.
To the world that never really let you be.
