The Sunsets

You’ll learn to catch time in its infidel steps

You’ll learn to keep your sunsets inside 

When people you love are retracing 

Learn to see their midnights

Ticking, turning. 

Learn to accept when they’ve let go

Learn to see things before it’s too late 

Learn to be brave. Braver than words

Learn to be brave enough for yourself 

People learn to love things more than death 

People learn to save themselves.
