Pianos Become The Teeth- Houses We Die In

• I don't know where to begin. I've thought about this day so much and thought of so many things I've wanted to say, but now, now I can only look at you like the pictures I spend hours staring at. I don't think I've ever smiled so wide as when you were holding me up. I was given a picture the other day of a past birthday- We were together on our back deck.
• I remember. You were covered in powdered sugar from the donuts you were eating. I've always loved watching you smile.
• Do you remember the mornings when we woke up early to ride bicycles on the boardwalk? Or the night before my first homecoming when you taught me how to dance?
• Yes, I remember. I hope she appreciated all my hard work.
• I wish I had a different story to tell. I seem I have drifted fairly far away from what you taught me.
• You were always the...
• I'll admit there hasn't been much to smile about since, since you left.
• I didn't leave, I fought for five years to stay at your side.
• What do you remember about that night?
• I remember a family that loved their wife and mother very much.
• How can you say that? We were liars; we clung to those songs like we so desperately wanted to cling to you.
• Than I don't think you heard the same song I did.
• You had to know I was lying. You had to know how much I hated myself for smiling like a fool. For spending our last few minutes together deceiving you.
• Matthew, your smile in the face of your greatest fear was the greatest gift a mother has ever received from her child .
• I miss you.
• I know.
