Did I kiss my mother with these lips?

Did I leave my brother

In the thick of it?

Did I miss my sister's happiness?

Have I been blind

To all of this?

Did I steal my father's emptiness?

Did I hear my grandma call me "Bliss"?

Mistake the sweet

For saltiness

Have I been deaf

To all of this?

And I know nobody ever changes

Their minds until they're gone
