I took the sticks and the stones that you throw,
to build a bridge and connect broken bones.
But my spine had cracked from the words said behind my back,
so I burnt it down and let the ashes settle at bay.
Never bury what you don't want to remember
because you'll never forget.
Don't keep memories six feet beneath you
keep them 600 miles away.
If you find the distance unsettling,
you may choose to keep friends close and enemies dead.
Just as long as you don't bury what you want to forget,
burn it so there's no turning back.
