i found myself stuttering over your name in conversation
it was almost two months ago
although i keep wondering if it happened for a reason
maybe to prevent the eventual sobbing that night
doesn't mean i don't kick myself for it
i constantly feel the weight of your ghost
maybe it's selfish of me to notice the consistency of you
or to assume it is always you
or is it low of me to think that you wouldn't be there
i've held onto this thought since july
and i'm just angry you're dead
