"Have you ever wanted to die?" It's a question I've answered over and over "Yes" But this time it was different The feeling in my chest was different The half empty beer in my hand didn't taste as bitter for a moment We didn't make eye contact We just sat next to eachother, drinking "Do you want to die?" I can feel my stomach searing Like each letter of my answer is attached to razor being pulled from my body "Sometimes" We didn't look at eachother We shared a quiet moment of understanding We each took another drink before any words broke the silence "Yeah. Me too"
