she asked me, "did you cry?"
of course i did, i replied
but what am i supposed to say
this is not about me this time, please i know you don't want to die
"i am dead inside", she said
"haven't you noticed as the years go by,
i am emptying myself.
i don't love you anymore, i am a bad person."
and i said no, you are not gone.
you are not your emptiness.
and the real question is, do you wanna die
or do you want to be different?
oh, you're redirecting it,
the desire to be new.
you said "it's easier to feel nothing,
i am void of all emotion".
but we both know that isn't true.
i remember you calling me, you ran away from home,
said you were jumping off a bridge and then you hung up the phone.
"i love life," you said, "i have the greatest friends
and things get better. it'll never get better and he's never coming back.
you're an angel. don't leave me or i swear i will collapse, i swear i will collapse
things fall apart, whatever. you are my inspiration, want to be a better person.
please don't call me again. light of my life,
you deserve so much better. i couldn't care at all."
it's a little about me this time, i hope you will be happy.
