101 gone has no teeth
Lyrics
too quiet
that was the first thing
not peace
not pain
not even numb
just quiet
arriving too early
yesterday
i would have said love
whole word
steady mouth
no correction after
and i would have meant it
we were not fake
not almost
not a story repaired later
to make the ending useful
we were happy
that part stayed true
that part
is the problem
the body had prepared
its old ceremony
sleepless blood
salt behind the eyes
your name
returning without permission
nothing came
no aftershock
no sharp weather
under the ribs
just air
wide enough
to make me doubt
what had been inside it
the love was real
the love was real
it just stayed where it happened
did not follow me out
did not ask
to be carried
memory opened
did not flood
showed me what had been
then closed
this one let go
when i did
no ruins
no smoke
no holy damage
and i stood there
complete
which was the strangest loss of all
the love was real
the love was real
it just stayed where it happened
soft end
steady breath
too quiet
still true
still gone
