Marigold

from Put Out The Stars by Rachel Efron

/

lyrics

I learned the cadence of your laughter
I touched your arm when you cried
I mapped the contour of your body
Set sail in the ebb of our tide
Peacefully
Just as you’re telling me forever
I have every reason to know
But love like it doesn’t end
Except for the day that you let me go

Day tells the story of the evening
In patterns of light on the bed
Pale greens and purples of the covers
Awash in the words that we said
Haltingly
Here in the shadows of your failing
The woman I’ve suffered to be
Will die as you walk away
But harken my innocence back to me

Softly, slowly
My marigold blooms just outside of these walls

Just as you’re telling me forever
I have every reason to know
But love like it doesn’t end
Except for the day that you let me go

I’ll love you like it doesn’t end
Except for the day that you let me go
