One day

One day you will be sat next to your best friend talking about something
That happened years ago,
Then years will turn to present
And
You'll learn that
When your ex-boyfriend got hit by a bus
Just after you broke up
Because you caught him cheating
He was coming to say sorry
And
That he loved you and adored you
Like you put the stars in the sky
Or
That week your third grade teacher came in the same clothes
For three days in a row
And you told him he was 'unclean' and 'lazy'
Was because his pregnant wife got involved in a car accident
And died
My point is you don't see everything
Or
Know everything
That meets the eye
Just like that the red forward slashes that engrave my
Thighs
Hips
And
Wrists
