for the rest of your life
what it felt to have every cell of your body scream
“this is wrong”
how painful a throat is after screaming for survival
how beautiful it is to speak
what agony is
the day before it happened i cried myself to sleep
thinking about how lonely matias was when he died
the day after i cried myself to sleep
thinking about how lonely i was
how lonely i am
how lonely i would still be if i died
how i understood him so much now
how badly i wanted to sleep
the tears are rolling fat and hot from my cheeks right now
they fall on my keyboard
my sister’s friends are screaming out in the backyard
and after two years
i still feel so, so alone
i'm surrounded by people who love me
i have the best friends in the world
people who are worried for my health
my family
but there's always the feeling
of us and them
they will never know what it is to really hurt
and i want to die
keep it in and buckle up i got to get to iceland
but i still want to die so bad
it doesn't matter how good i get it
fucking people isn't the same anymore
i always see him creeping up some corner
always see his face when i'm alone in an elevator with a man
always feel his hands when i'm at a dance club
always hear his sneers when someone says they love me
how can anyone love me?
i'm a ghost, a shell, i have nothing to offer
lifeless eyes pale skin half hearted i love yous
too fucked over and beaten up and fake, crafted and cunning
just barely surviving, not really living
how could anyone love me
when i have nothing to give?
