it was april and she was the saddest thing under the sun. half a human, half an apology, she kept her palms up. beside her, there was a boy. seventeen. blowing away his feelings in smoke. a lethal drug of choice, she wondered. she replayed the scenarios over and over in her mind. do they all truly love me or is it only a matter of my ratiocination? she could hear the birds twittering and all the moths that kept eating away at her heart. spoiled. rotten. bloodstained. i paused but you never did.

mind dearest, you make me lose my sanity.

they don't really love you. they only say they do because they know you don't have anyone else.

they don't like your art. they only say they do because if they don't, they'd feel bad.

you never shut up for a minute, do you? perhaps all of this isn't true. perhaps no one has ever lied to me more than you have to me.

more than i have to my own self.
