Fossils

Madilyn Mei

To take pictures of the walls is possible
But the memories can't be removed
Words that we've said become fossils
Embedded in the walls in the rooms

And I, I know this house has been home
But now I feel as though we should

There are days that have past with a sunset
But some seem to still be stretching on
Trying to paint over everything with new memories
But some things will never be gone

And I, I know that it's hard to go
But I need to be freed of all the memories
In the homes, in the walls, it's all skeletons
And the halls are growing colder
As the days are growing older

To take pictures of the walls is possible
But the memories can't be removed
Tears that we've shed become fossils
Embedded in the walls in the rooms

And I, I know this house has been home
But now I feel as though we should
But now I feel as though we should go
