there's no way I'd be here today if it weren't for you
thank you so much*

I know what you think you're thanking me for:
a shoulder to cry on
the movie nights
endless lunches
the family we made out of spoons at work one day
helping you move

Here's what I remember:
sleepless nights waiting for you to come home
hiding your blades
reassuring your mom you were "just fine"
you walking away with no thought
of what would happen to me

"No please, there's no need to thank me"
I didn't have to help lift you at all
because you just
stepped on me
with no thought at all
