Lie
I'm not hurt
Because of what you did

I'm hurt
Because you didn't tell me
(this note was written by an air conditioner outside in the cold park where there's a kid who refuses to wear mittens)

he told me his sister tried to die,
and i sat there, silent,
holding my own secret like a stone
in my throat,
wishing i could tell him
but terrified he’d hate me for it.

he’s not broken like me,
so i hide my cracks—
afraid he’ll see the light
slipping through.

I like sad things.
Sad things make me happy.
Sad things make me feel
Less alone
I like sad things but I hate being sad

you know, we never meant
for taylor swift’s “daylight”
to become our song,
but it did.
first, it was your golden brown eyes,
then every lyric felt like us.
i guess it’s not ours anymore—
now, it’s yours and hers.
but i can’t help thinking,
we had it first.
