I pull the pain back on myself
and pray to God that it might help
to staunch the flow of memories
that’s bleeding out from you and me
I sacrifice my time again
living lives I’ve never been
and hoping for the day we’ll see
a day I know will never be
but hope
and prayer
and scratches in the sand
won’t bring you back forever
to places where we used to stand
together
together
but so apart
