I hope I don't push it down too far
but that will also be necessary
How do I mourn this
without falling too far
I'll write her a letter
tell her the things she didn't let me say
I'll finish her painting
to leave some kind of gift
To a beautiful life that rejected me
A tribe that spoke a different language
A woman who decided
that I am not enough
I have a couple gifts to give still
to a woman who decided
that I am not worth
trying to understand anymore
That's how I'll mourn
I hope she can remember someday
The man she threw away
And I hope she can forget
the man she decided I was
