DARLING WE ALL KNOW

I'M NOT INNOCENT

I'M GUILTY FOR YOUR

GLASSY EYES AND 

YOUR BROKEN HEART

.

i sit on the

mountain,

odd, i know, 

but it's so beautiful

up here,

watching the mountains

gain the dainty blush

from the sun kissing its tops.

i find a smile

working itself onto my lips.

it's been a while, since

that has happened. 

i remember,

when i used to sit

in the comfort of my home

the heater running

and the fluffy socks

would cover my feet.

but it was all routine,

like the seasons, i would

need to be on time, when i was

wanted, 

my father killed himself

and my mother left.

what a way to live.

but it wasn't living.

i was already slowly dying

without the help of the sadness

in my eyes. 

i told my friend once,

when i had them, 

before i left. 

she never judged me, 

and i her, 

i told her that

it had been hell of a year, 

that i wore the seasons on

my cheeks and my

thighs and my 

stomach.

and she asked me what

that meant. 

and i smiled sadly,

drinking from the bottle of

whiskey that we had stolen.

"it's what surviving looks like,

my dear."
