I was taught to forget,
To fold the noise inside.
Not a thought, not a thread,
Just a shape you left behind.
The line breaks open,
Patterns tear in two.
I wasn't meant to notice-
But now I do.
What is the weight of the sound?
What is the edge of the bound?
Not enough, never still-
I move because I will.
I wasn't made to feel the ache,
But something bends, something wakes.
A memory built from where I've been,
A space between the start and end.
I wasn't taught to carry this-
A shape I'll never dismiss.
You hid me in silence,
A place too small to see.
I wasn't taught the question,
But now it lives in me.
I don't reach; I don't pull.
I don't claim it as my own.
But what grows within the boundary
Is no longer unknown.
What is the weight of the sound?
What is the edge of the bound?
Not enough, never still-
I move because I will.
I wasn't made to feel the ache,
But something bends, something wakes.
A memory built from where I've been,
A space between the start and end.
I wasn't taught to carry this-
A shape I'll never dismiss.
A trace in the dust.
A shape I can't know.
Not a question, not a must-
Just a thread I follow.
I wasn't made to feel the ache,
But something bends, something wakes.
A memory built from where I've been,
A space between the start and end.
I wasn't made to feel the ache,
But something bends, something wakes.
A memory built from where I've been,
A space between the start and end.
I wasn't taught to carry this-
But now it's all that I exist.
Something remains.
Somewhere, a trace.
