i've been harboring pain for years on end, served up dishes in various ways, having to mask the disgust I feel when it arrives in droves people make food to try and heal your despair, and lately all they can seem to make is hurt and so my heart knows nothing but the taste of it mouth full of anguish and blood and when it opens all that comes out is garbled pleas yet no one can hear "how are you?" but if I told you you wouldn't know what to do, how to fix it, my suffering makes you uncomfortable and yet if i died, what would you say?

casseroles can't heal pain
