Shine Through

I am not stronger Thought that I was But stronger things They break these brittle bones Catch you from out The corner of my eye Thought you had candles And flowers in your hair Never could mask it The way that it slips Down my cheek and into A vast nothing of you I am sugar and tear drops But I can spin circles And burn pictures And remember someone else’s name For a change Wishing to fall down sweet Pressing hands to earth And weaving my memory Into the story of you I’ll just sit down Finding daylight In the lost bits of sunshine That never shines through
