08:59am i observed from the corner of the room coffee warmed lips and muddled thoughts
the girl who walked in chatting easily with friends
i watched her decay into the girl who walked in laugh a little too loud eyes a little too sad
i watched her decay she walked in alone a warm smile that didnt match her eyes
no friends no laughs
she wore long sleeves that day
i watched her decay into the girl who walked in laughter smothered in her own mind no warm smile isolated skinny bones
i watched her decay until it was too late she no longer walked in at all like wiltering, decaying plants you mostly catch them when theyre too late to save
