Domino from dark / gold by SOAR

She screamed,
“No,” when you got the call about him.
I couldn't understand what you said
when you told us he was dead.
It was as sudden as an earthquake
my knees they shake about it.
Is this the calm before the storm?
The grudge I hold keeps me at home.
I won't go.

Your house was filled with us all
now we're marks left on the wall.

Five gone. I'm barely holding on, 18.
A death domino effect.
An empty home that we neglect.
I only care because your
bones are there
buried under a willow tree
next to the river by a gate.
The summer heat we couldn't take
don't make me.

Your house was filled with us all
now we're marks left on the wall

I keep thinking about
her alone in their bed.
My biggest regrets
not calling to check
up on her then.
Her world was wrecked.

Your house was filled with us all
now we're marks left on the wall.

All our photos are long gone.
