my clock reads 6:25,
and i still haven't left my bed.
frozen hands
can only reach so far,
whenever the world spins too fast.

a plague
interrupted her mind.
a disease spread throughout
her hideous bloodstream,
and she soon
became just another
one.

don't you dare try to put this on me,
whenever you never even knew my name.
don't say that i let you in,
whenever entrance was forced
and words were slurred.

you wrapped your jacket
around my bare shoulders,
and you told me
i didn't deserve to be cold.

if i didn't deserve to be cold,
then neither did you.
i wrapped my jacket clad arms
around yours.

they handed me a bag,
and told me to have a nice day.
i reached in to find
90 iron pills
84 birth control pills
and 56 major depression pills.

my mom used to tell me everything would be okay,
but i'm starting to believe that that's not true.

i'm trying to lose sleep over you.
i'm trying to touch you in my dreams.

- sweet memory,
float to me.

slender fingers
point animatedly
at a pale face.
"you,"
he says,
"you are beautiful."

electricity pulsed
throughout me,
and a beautiful memory
was etched forever.
