The civil wars
Sing in my head
I always wonder
Where this music
Comes from
I never press play
Someone sends it to me
They know I communicate
In music
I appreciate these guides
Helping me release what
Suffocates me on the inside
“Please tell me you know”
They always play it at the
Perfect verse
“I’ve got to let you go “
Finishing the verse
In my head
It makes me sad
This lullaby isn’t for me
So I grieve the love
You thought you had
Grieve the faces I
Thought you were mad
I continue to grieve
As though this is
Just all me
Walking around
Staring blankly
I tried to explain
My truth to my husband
Begged him to see my truth
He finally realized he wasn’t
Comprehending what I was
Saying all these years
He alone was hiding in his fears
I know that he feels lonely too
I wish I was his white horse
But I can’t do your homework
For you boo
You have life lessons to get through
I’m walking besides you
Stumbling over my worn out shoes
Yet here I am with melodies
In my head — meant for you
And meant for me
Look up above
This is God’s gift to me
These lessons we signed on to
These babies coming and we
Are supposed to guide them through
“ I wish I could’ve stayed “
I hear it everyday
“ I wish— I wish “
Let them all go
Put trust in your
Heaven flowing above
Put trust in this
Never ending
Unconditional love
Another song
Starts playing again
I close my eyes
Steady my breathing
Listen to the signs
That have helped
Me surrender
To what I know
Is leaving
