Put my heart back in the box. Let it smash against the metal walls.

I look at you and I see the truth. The people in my life are just shadows. I am a shadow. So are you.

Shadows cannot live.

They can't die.

They don't exist.

Tell me when it hurts.. tell me and

Forgive my silence in return

The night air meets my body seeping through the purple curtains. The starry sky on the cold ceiling falls on my head. It breaks my nose, and a warm knob of scarlet liquid pours into my mouth. You didn't like my makeup and I poked my eyes out with manicure scissors. I had an epiphany and cut the throat of our sympathy, a naive crush. Raindrops hit my arms, my breasts, all over my naked body. Kiss my eyes and pour boiling water in my ears. It's not true, which means it doesn't matter. What have I done? I am not afraid of the deaths around me, but I am afraid that one day I will be as insignificant a death as those around me. No one will ever remember, only an old cat waiting to starve to death. My body will not be found immediately. Hermit.

The smile you gave me will never have a direct purpose, and the subtext will always be there.

Your favorite dress... You wore it when you believed in yourself. I hope you never take it off. Without hope, I hope.
