I’ve kept every card I’ve ever received
For as long as I can remember
People fade in and out of your life
Eventually lost in the past, forgotten
I read their letters after sunset
When I’m left clinging to sunshine
I read all the texts
Remembering distant memories
Of the way things used to be
I write about memories
To forget the way things are now
Life was so sweet
But now it’s so bitter
It’s been four years
Eight months
And twenty-three days
1,729 days
Since my heart shattered
Into a million fragments
But I’m still picking up the pieces
Still re-reading the cards
Still looking through the texts
Still reminiscing the memories
Of the distant light I once held in my hands
Will I ever learn
To live without the light?
Will I ever wake up from this nightmare
To see the sunrise?
