There was a tiny house in town
That had always stayed the same,
Home to a girl wearing a sundress
Calling each flower by name.

The sun around which we revolved,
As stubborn as a stone
In its refusal to evolve.

Trapped within its weathered walls,
Watching all the lives
They built around its rise and fall.
But one day with no warning
The world felt shallower and strange,
And the view outside my window
Seemed to all at once have changed.
I ran with lungs near bursting
To that tiny house in town,
Yet the ashes of forever
Was the only thing I found.
Walking home it felt the world
Was made of me and salty tears,
And the woman in a sundress
Who watched me slowly disappear. — Emily Hanson
