Heal the Burn

You know that place

Where your heart was gone a while ago

But your mind kept you held tight

And those few bits of heart that were left

Were all you needed to justify staying?

What goes up, well, you know

And eventually it's true

But also, what is pulled can push

Though everything that's lost isn't always found

In fact, more often

What we end up finding

Shows us what we've really been looking for

After all,

The system exists because it works for some

And works just enough for most

But it can't work for all

And it doesn't

Really, though

I'll miss you

So much more

Than I'll miss this
