It’s a heavy weight to carry, This life you gave me, In exchange for your own. I don’t mean to be ungrateful when I sob to you “I don’t want to keep on living either”
the taste melts on my tongue little bits of crunch between my teeth it pains me this very piece won’t slide across the table making your eyes glossy with delight
You would sit for a bit longer at the table gazing back into my wide eyes Your smile would widen to match mine and I’d be able to lose myself Without all the white lines
