you remind me of myself.
you make me remember how I was as a little naive girl.
I trusted all those who would listen.
I gave my heart away and never got any of it back.
and now I watch you.
you're on a strict no-food diet.
you say it makes you feel powerful, not eating.
but I know it makes you feel extra alone.
you drink coffee black because only important people get sugar and creamer.
you run every Wednesday, you say it helps you remember your marathon-running mom.
I know it helps you forget what he did.
I didn't go through what you did, but I know your lies.
I know, as I lied too.
