now we have
a different kind of love
a love that's taking
the long road home
you tell your stories
stitched together
in a broken memory of truth
we listen like we've never
heard the story before
do our best to bring you back
into the moment
know it won't be long
until you try to relate
the next same old song
your memories are fragile
tentative
fused together
without meaning
old songs confuse
and disorder reality
even we don't know
what to believe anymore
what will we be
when you're no longer here
as we watch you fade
into a shadow of you
what will we be
daughters
friends
carers
sisters
