As the snowflakes hit the ground.
The memories that were sound.
Hearing the chirps of birds
As their wings flap around.
Fly away, to find home.
A place I had never known.
Twigs breaking, in the snow
That were intricately sewn.
Encased in the memories
Of sledding down the small slope
On the hills in a fenced in yard
Of a strangers childhood home.
The picture of a red vintage sled
Of the man from whom I was bred.
The absence of him, stuck in my head.
Now everyone of them are dead.
A place where my mind wondered
When I'd find the other half of me
To finally feel that sense of whole.
Blurry as it be, I still see...
But I'll never truly know..
Why wasn't I enough?
Why did she grip that bottle of gin?
Why did he never love him or his kin?
Why am I product of a mix of sin?
When will I be let in?
Secrets, you'll forever keep.
For my whole life I shall weep...
Stay up at night losing sleep.
The burden I hold, trenches deep.
Counting wishes, counting sheep.
I never was to you, what you are to me.
Lay it all to rest, Til my hearts' burdens be..
