You keep my outline in your version of the past Hold it to the light whenever your answers crack But I am not the shape you summon when you need A witness who agrees with what you chose to see I can remember and still let go I can forgive what left its trace You don't get to tell me who I was I keep my story I'm not your ghost I won't erase the rooms we had to leave behind I won't return to make your memory align I own the debt that's mine; your share is yours to claim But I won't live inside the ending that you framed I choose what I remember I choose not to return I choose the words that name me You no longer define me I can remember and still let go I can forgive what left its trace You don't get to tell me who I was I keep my story I'm not your ghost
