dear basil, this isn't about christmas, though i hope you have a good one. this is about crying. or more like how you don't. i would say i don't want you to but i know you. and your eyes are my eyes. so i need them to cry. if they won't cry for her let them cry for me. cry for the me you lost cry for the you that you can't find cry for the person in the mirror who doesn't ******* deserve this because you don't. YOU DON'T ******* DESERVE THIS. just because your bruises are healing doesn't mean that your skin is okay. it's cracking. you're cracking. break open. love, basil
