about

Inspired by Maggie & Me, by Damian Barr.

lyrics

Sunsets are best when
You give them coal, to help them glow
Secrets, are often kept
In the dark, but the bruises
Always start to slowly show
December brings that darkness
through the door
And then she swings
and there’s diamonds on the floor
A shard of halo to protect them all,
from this home.
Locked away, for safety
Hidden here, been growing up for years
And it’s a fight to find the gems of school
But Wednesday’s walk sees
Emeralds on the floor
A jagged halo around us all, and this home.
The sun’s set, but it’s not over yet.
