Monument

A frequent feeling bring it back

now hold it together firmly

I’m not losing any sleep

bad weather or not

to the top of the mountain

where you can see everything a little more clear

Nothing feels worse than failure

I should have known

I should have moved

I should have been brave

Lack of fear won’t save me now

from anything at all

This room sits still and stays so quiet

like the stairs up to your old apartment

filled with superstition for your addictions

don’t forget your cigarettes on the way out

I’m still learning how to cope with tragedy

I’m still learning how to fight off all these feelings

I’m still learning what you have isn’t always yours to keep

I know now what I didn’t know before

I know now what I didn’t before
