I don’t remember if I slept that night
“You should die” It spoke “You shouldn’t exist” The heavy you You were twisting snakes Unable to sleep in strange places Not knowing how to comfort yourself Except to retreat into your mind They were like the god you prayed to The voice detached from an outcome Wishing for the best Even if you didn’t know what that could feel like It was odd being alone Tears dried over tears And the quiet set in of acceptance Realizing life is being lonely
