I kept your letters here, I kept your voice in mind, but there's only so much room inside for everything I find. I held the earlier, I held the harder ones, and now I'm running low on room for where the story runs the windows getting full. I can't hold much more tonight. The windows getting full, something's fading from the light. The windows getting full keep on adding words to something I can't hold, like riding on a page already covered up in cold.
But when a vessel gets too full, it loses what it sees the windows getting full. I can't hold much more than that. The windows getting full, some things are fading from the light, the windows getting full. I used to hold a hundred things and never miss one. Now I let the oldest ones go to make room for what's done.
Memory don't last forever. No matter how you try, the more you fill a heart with sorrow, the more the old things die. The windows getting full. Some things are fading from the light, the window's getting full. Lord the window's getting full.
