May 2014
I didn't want to talk about forever.
Though forever only spans one life,
I hope to have more than just this one.

I kicked the tobacco, the fried foods,
The binging on anything.
And I don't taste like bitter liquor anymore.

My hair is brushed,
Teeth whitened,
Tongue pink,
Skin clear.

So boring.
I'm so dull.

If you could promise me another life,
You'd never see me again.

My fear of being alone
Is what keeps me coming back for
more.

Again.

And again.
I'm still here just because you are enough, but I hope you never read these words.
