i remember, as a child
when my eyes would well up with tears,
i "felt small", as i would call it.
it was merely just the liquid
distorting my vision,
and making the ground seem closer
and my body, smaller.
i had forgotten about that memory
until your favorite song came on
while i was in the backseat
of my friend's car.
that same feeling washed over me
as the tears sprung to my eyes
and i looked down,
and i grew smaller
and smaller
and

smaller



until i disappeared.
