I thought it would take me a thousand mouths to erase your name, to rinse my memories of you, to refill the void that your absence caused, like it’s the only thing that could cover up a horrible, regrettable tattoo visibly painted all over my being Turns out, it only took another mistake for everything […]
I thought I buried you somewhere far Your graveyard covered in different kinds of old autumn leaves and dirt and coldness and nothingness I thought I had my head up high Chaffing the thoughts of weakness symptoms So I smiled and I smiled and I smiled and I smiled Until people stopped asking Today I […]
