i woke up in a tear stained lace dress black boots still drunk with bruised wrists i woke up delicate feeling hallow i woke up hopeless & next to a man much older than me no longer innocent haunted by what he had done still believing he loved me i woke up ******* manic on a monday morning to run barefoot & say goodbye to my friend for the last time & to get high before college or school but i cant remember which i woke up from a bittersweet dream where an awful friend held me under the flowers to say he was sorry for the things he couldnt remember but i would never forget & he told me he was crueler than i can imagine i woke up wishing it was a real apology i woke up sick in bed barely breathing from too many pills i woke up devastated to still be alive i woke up in a cheap hotel room with a boy i met once at a gig when we had nothing left to give i woke up faded on medication with my friends hand up my skirt & i had made sure to wear my nicest underwear ivory silk since i knew it would happen again & woke up crying i woke up desperate i woke up idyllically lonely under death in the stars i woke up numb & made of porcelain i woke up not entirely here & woke up bleeding & woke up grieving. i woke up in everlasting fear
im not entirely sure if i ever woke up this morning
