(inhale.)
yesterday I passed a person on the street who looked like you
and I nearly broke down.
(don't breathe don't breathe don't look up)
today I saw you and you
and you
and you
had eyes filled with so much pain I didn't know where to go
I didn't know where to look.
(you're gonna be okay
don't look up)
there is a mess of broken things where my brain used to be
there is a sea of broken bottles in the place we used to be.
(I'm not here, this isn't happening)
everything is disjoint
everything is a blur.
(your mouth is moving but you're not making any sense.)
"I'm okay."
"I'm okay."
"I'm okay."
you turn to go.
(exhale.)
