I can feel her pain
even when I don't know why.
But I can't heal her.

Took omeprazole
alongside oxycodone.
Won't do that again!

The little girl smiles.
It reminds me of a time
when I could feel joy.

Will you be with me?
No. You are not good enough.
Yes, I see that now :-(

Friends for fifteen years.
Thrown away in five minutes.
Why, then, don't I grieve?

What is the meaning

Saw my friend today.
All the good people suffer.
I can't make it stop.
