you never tried to analyze me. you never took a flashlight to the darkest parts of my mind, never checked my aching bones to make sure they were alright. you never checked my lungs to see that they were filled with water, never saw my shoulders, the burden they were under. you only saw my face, readied and pristine, my face constantly smiling whenever i heard your name. you never examined the backs of my eyes to see what keeps coming back, never checked my spine to see if something makes it crack. you never checked my muscles, you never checked my heart. if you had dusted it for fingerprints, you would've only found his marks [this heartbreak hollowed out my bones, and weighs a thousand pounds, it pushed me underwater, but your name, i can't quite drown out. you're trapped inside my head, i hope you do get out, you're the burden i am under, i really have no doubt. if you had checked for fingerprints, you wouldn't have been invested, if you had checked my heartstrings, you wouldn't have been tested. you failed the science test this time and i'm so sincerely sorry. but if you had checked for variables you wouldn't have had to worry]
