The Only Difference

The Only Difference

There's TV thick with dust in the corner.
There's a dried up towel hanging from the sink.
It's brittle from the mess it cleaned two months ago.
And this burned out light thats hanging,
kinda makes you think
about the way
our gears turned
when our gas tanks weren't on empty,
when the turning signals worked.
There was sweet blood still pouring from your heart.
There were sweet words still shooting from your face.

There's a shoebox filled to the top with all your wishes,
documented time clocked to our deaths.
You'll die off by the time they decompose.
They're old and they are tired,
but they never will forget.
about the things
That made us think.
that helped us sleep,
that made us cry,
that helped us grow,
that made us hate,
that helped us love,
that let us die,
that helped us live,
that helped us learn,
that made us strong,
that made us sick,
that kept us scared,
that kept us scarred,
that helped us heal,
that killed us quick,
