THERE USED TO BE FOUR

Hardwood, soft face
Childhood safe space
Kodak pictures, white wall

Photographer's daughter
Falling salt water
Staring through the eyes of my father

Setting sun beyond the sea
Pantheon, Italy
Loudest laugh I’ve ever seen
Smile like a movie scene

All I needed was
To remember what
It felt like before
Now there’s just three of us
Trying to find meaning cause
There used to be four

That five-year-old didn’t know
When her dad was gonna go
How it felt to see a heart rate fall
Setting sun beyond the sea
Pantheon, Italy
Loudest laugh I’ve ever seen
Smile like a movie scene
Capturing family
Protecting memories
It’s all coming back to me

All I needed was
To remember what
It felt like before
Now there’s just three of us
Trying to find meaning cause
There used to be four
