  • The Dust Collector

    Have you forgotten about me?
    Yesterday has always weighed heavy on our shoulders but I hope you’ve managed to find peace within the day.
    I hope you keep me in the back of your mind like a letter from a past lover that carries dust in our box.
    Unwanted but still welcomed in our home.

    Your heart will still sink, you will still feel too much – This is who we are.
    We’ve never had the stomach for life but I hope you learned to sit through the discomfort and enjoy the meal.

    Something I’ve been working on as the days pass is forgiveness.
    Forgiving myself for knowing better but letting my curiosity get the best of me.
    Forgiving myself for hurting the ones who love me most.
    Forgiving myself for simply experiencing life.
    We can not keep dwelling on the things we can not change.
    I forgive you and I will say it until it’s true.
    Today’s a new day and tomorrow will be another start.
    I believe you’ll find the kindness in your heart to forgive me too.
