Rearrange

I kept the clock that never learned to stop

Its hands still chase what isn’t coming back

I talk to shadows wearing your old shape

They nod like they remember how to laugh

The mirror shows a guest who overstayed

A face I recognize but can’t forgive

I practice saying “fine” until it’s true

But truth keeps slipping through the sieve

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Your light’s still crashing through my veins

Every scar keeps singing your name

Not gone, not gone, just carved in the frame

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Learning how to carry what remains

Not gone, not gone, you live in the thunder

I’m still here—and I’m still under

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Oh

I walk the streets we never walked together

And still avoid the corners we once planned

Your voice arrives in languages of weather

A sudden rain that no one understands

I count the things I never got to say

They weigh like coins I’ll never get to spend

The heart’s a thief that steals itself away

Then leaves the empty pocket for a friend

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Your light’s still crashing through my veins

Every scar keeps singing your name

Not gone, not gone, just carved in the frame

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Learning how to carry what remains

Not gone, not gone, you live in the thunder

I’m still here—and I’m still under

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Oh

Maybe love was only ever practice

For the long art of remaining after

For holding fire without burning faster

For turning absence into quiet laughter

I forgive the wound for how it taught me

To recognize the shape of what was holy

Even when the altar stands so empty

I still kneel because the kneeling knows me

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Your light’s still crashing through my veins

Every scar keeps singing your name

Not gone, not gone, just carved in the frame

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Learning how to carry what remains

Not gone, not gone, you live in the thunder

I’m still here—and I’m still under

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Oh

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Oh

I’m not breaking, I’m rearranging

Oh
