Revive - Crying

In the beginning: A promise

To take a shot in the dark

A pledge to rising and to falling apart

It was written

By our own hands

We were bound

Nervous and full of fire

We bore the task

That motions forward

While I keep reeling back

And though I try to revive it

Try to return to the start

Searching for us in the basement

Sifting for us in the car

I have a hard time with leaving

Time can’t preserve every truth

So, what was once in existence

Must’ve turned into something else

Victories traded for losses

Don’t make up

For the weight

Or the space

That saves an emptiness I tried to replace

And though I try to revive it

Try to return to the start

Searching for something familiar

Do I misremember the past?

I have a hard time with leaving

Time can’t preserve every truth

Sever the stems of expecting

Light can fall and still follow through

Remind me

(Remind me)

Remind me

(It was na-na-not so great)
