"Good morning Ella! How are you today?"
"I'm...I'm good Wanda"
"You're wearing make up today, it looks cute!"

Trying to hide these is hard
Trying to keep quiet isn't
Trying to ignore them is
Loving you despite what you did isn't

"Ella you ok? You're unusually quiet"
"I'm fine, just a little distracted"
"Why? Is it because of?"

Your judging eyes hurt me.
Stop.

"Yes...we fought"
"Again?"
"Yes but it's fine it was my fault"

It wasn't.

"You always say that"
"So what? It's the truth"
"You know its not. It is never your fault!"
"Yes it is. Just drop it Wanda. It's fine, it was just a silly fight nothing to worry about"

She's going to notice...
Please...
Don't notice...

"Ella why are you wearing make up?"

Crap.

"Because I wanted to try something new"
"You're still in your pajamas"
"So?? I I can look cute without changing clothes"
"Or showering?"
"I showered!"

I didn't.
Too gloomy to do so
I feel too heavy to move from this couch

"I don't like what's happening to you"
"...nothing's happening to me Wanda"

Warm towel on my cheek
The tears drip
Wipe them away
Embrace me
Keep me warm and safe.
