Weapons Down

I hope you've learnt to love your reflection

I hope you've grown closer with your family

I hope your every sunrise is beautiful

And I hope I never let someone

Disassemble me the way I did then

❀

I hope you're listening to all your favourite songs

And I hope your bookshelf is filled with books you love

I hope living feels like flying for you

And I hope I never have to climb out

Of another grave

❀

For awhile, we were both

Bringing guns to a knife fight

But I have laid my weapons down now

And I hope I never return

To the scene of the crime

❀

I hope my eyes begin to sparkle again

I hope I learn to stop associating

My worth with your goodbye

And I hope I find my way back to me

❀

I hope when you think of me

You no longer hold any of that malice

I hope the next person to bandage your wounds

Doesn't get poisoned by your proximity

I hope you find someone who fits you

Better than I did

I hope you get smiles and cures and contentment

And I hope I never ruin myself

In the face of a goodbye again
