i couldnt remember...
for a while...
2 seconds or an eternity...
i couldnt remember....
was she alive or dead?
alive or dead? i screamed.
tell me now!
alive or dead? alive or dead?
where have you been?
this whole time, where have you been?
who has been living in your house?
alive or dead, someone tell me now.
but no one would say.
and when i woke up shaking
my face slick with salted tears,
he said youre trembling in your sleep.
and my throat was too tight to say why.
