Stay from Slow Medicine by Laura Anne Reitzel

This is how it ends,
You write songs about your friends.
And when they’re gone you still have your songs but you don’t have them.
Mourning the loss of those now away.
Knowing your words will stay.

They’ll stay
They’ll stay
They’ll stay
They’ll stay

Leaving alone all the voices you called home.
The pages are lost, but your heart knows every note.
Faded reminders dance like withered ghosts.
You’ve asked politely and they will not go.

They’ll stay
They’ll stay
They’ll stay
They’ll stay

They’ll stay echoes of conversation,
They’ll stay keeping you hostage.
They’ll stay take all your expectation,
They’ll stay teach you to cut your losses.
They’ll stay
They’ll stay
They’ll stay
They’ll stay
They’ll stay
They’ll stay
