you will never be forgotten.
ever.
your name twisted into metaphors and colors and distractions will forever
be painted across pages and pages of her favorite brand of notebook,
no matter how many she burns
there will always be one she forgot,
and she will only find it once she had almost forgotten you.
she will find the one Papyrus notebook
and all of your metaphors and colors and disractions will come flooding back,
just like how the ocean in your eyes
flooded her heart all those years ago.

They took pieces of me with them
One by one they chipped some part of me
The didn't even realize what they were doing
They split my heart open and they grasped it with their violent hands
They exposed me
I was no longer a human to them
They took away my ability to feel
They though they could shut my mouth
But I spoke out
I survived their attack
I gained my strength
I stood in front of the crowd and I told my truth
I stand with my brothers and sisters who have fallen victim to violent hands like theirs
We survived
And we will not stop fighting

I had loved him for so long
You tell me that you love him
So I shut my heart and I held back the tears
I told you to go for it
He fell inlove you
Now I have to live with the pain
I have to smile when I see you both together
I had to let him go for you
And no matter how much it hurts
I would do it again because you go before me

Put your mask on.
Tell everyone you're fine.
