Two More Days...

Laugh so hard you snort.
Make a fool of yourself.
Feels so good
To fall so hard
Your limbs shatter
The only thing intact is your heart.
Surprise, surprise
You
Thought it was broken
There's always gonna be someone
To pick up the pieces
But in the meantime
Something is left behind.
A gesture, a laugh, a phrase, a smile.
You forget
Until it comes back
And you weep to compensate
For how full you become
There is no room left
For what was loved and lost
Never to return again
The tears flow and flow

and flow

Until finally you feel like you can
move again
talk again
And you remember why you wept
'Cause those gestures
those laughs
that phrase
that smile...

It never
really
left.
