    Retrace – (Chapter: Heavier Things Remain (Graviora Manent))

    A hallow hallelujah hangs in the corner
    With the rest of our dissolving years
    You’re the storm and the cold
    The dove and the bone
    The ghost that relieves all my fears
    The life is spent from cold
    As years and sheets unfold
    We’ll be able to sleep all alone

     

    “Ashley? What . . .” she took a deep breath to calm the sudden burst of emotion in her chest, “Why are you calling me?”

    “I’m back in LA . . . and I owe you an explanation for why I left.”

    “An explanation. Do you expect me to forgive you? After six months of being God knows where?” her voice was laced with disbelief. There was no way, after that long that she was just going to pretend that it never happened.

    “No, I just want to talk to you. I don’t expect anything from you,” that didn’t sound like the Ashley she remembered. The girl she knew always expected something from someone, from everyone. There was no question that she wanted to see her, but what would be the expense? Her heart was still fragile and this girl seemed to be the only threat to it.

    (Weight of the world…)
    The weight of the world is on top of me
    And I wouldn’t have you anywhere else
    (Weight of the world…)
    The weight of the world is on top of me
    And I want you here all to myself

    “I guess . . .” a loud sigh escaped her lips, “I can meet you later tonight. At the pier.”

    “Okay. I’ll see you at nine then?”

    “Yeah. That sounds good,” goodbyes were exchanged and she took another deep breath, despite the fact that it didn’t seem to be doing her any good. Breathing had become quite a chore since that night. And here was that night, her past, coming back to lay the world on her shoulders again. Part of her wished Ashley had just stayed wherever it was that she had gone, but the majority was waiting apprehensively to hear the other girl’s words, not really minding the heaviness that now pressed on her heart.

    Like a land-worthy sailor
    I even falter at failure
    Trying to find my heading back home
    You’re the cure and the disease
    The vice I still need
    The cast and the break in my bones
    You’re the life that’s worth living
    The hurt and forgiving
    You’re Jesus to the demons you’ve put in my head
