Day 33

I remember you mentioning once
the reason you hadn't killed yourself

I thought that reason was odd at the time

But over the years
like ivy falling,
wrapping itself down a pillar

your answer was enough

though it never fueled comfort
that answer never lied the way other truths would

So after a time I took it into myself
this burnt ember of truth

that each day is tough
that it is frustrating

you told me

“Holding that knife
I felt like an imposter – not me
id rather be a sad me than a killer”


Bleh, got off the writing horse again. Stupid crazy life
