Far away, I pray this letter
finds you well and safe
I hope to god I wrote it not
too late
I’ll never understand
the things you’ve faced
The path you had to take
You were the parts of me I kept
concealed and contained
A relic of the way you were raised
A product of rage, of passion and pain
The last one to shoulder the blame
Did you expect me to try to
look you straight in the eye
And drag you back down to earth?
I watched you walk down a
road I could not condone
And fell to my knees as it took you so…
Far away, I pray this letter find
s you well and safe
I hope to god I wrote
it not too late
I’ll never understand
the things you’ve faced
The path you had to take
Was it your choice to break
the prom ises you made
In a voice that quaked
with apprehension?
I thought I knew you,
I thought you knew me too
The grave that you dug
is not deep enough for two
And I don’t owe shit to you
I’m running out of reasons
not to keep you so…
Far away, I pray this letter
find s you well and safe
I hope to god I wrote it not too late
I’ll never understand
the things you’ve faced
The path you had to take
Time won’t slow
If you could see these
words before you go
I swear I’ll never sleep until I know
That you have finally found a place to rest
And the weight is off your chest
As you waste away
You’re a ghost to me
You fucking let me down
Why can’t you let me be?
I went through hell to find a way in
But you made the bed you laid in
Convinced that no one would care
Cut every tie you could rely on
But you chose this hill to die on
And I won’t follow you there
Far away, I pray this letter
finds you well and safe
I hope to god I wrote it not too late
I’ll never understand the things
you’ve faced
The path you had to take
Can’t you see?
(Some things cannot
be concealed)
Please know I never wanted
you to leave
(We will succumb to the
wounds we never heal)
I’ll bleed from every pore just
to believe
(I hope you find a place to rest)
That you got what you sought
in your last breath
Some dignity in death
