Dead

At 15, most of my friends have never even kissed a boy

But I have already loved someone as distant as the stars

And like the stars he was dead inside

But his light could still be seen if you looked

That is why when in between trying to make a dead language live again,

I cried when my teacher said

"These are the best times of your life"

Because I could not believe things can only get worse from here
