Dig the grave
Deeper and deeper.
Bury the ghost,
I’m not its keeper.
Pile the dirt
Higher and higher.
Burn her letters,
Fuel for the fire.
Forget the memories,
Forget them longer.
No longer weak,
Be strong, be stronger.
Learn form the past,
Learn quicker and quicker.
Build those walls
Thicker and thicker.
No. Tear them down,
Bricks by the stack.
For I got the monkey
Off my back!
