i didn't donate blood today. i could've, but i didn't. my friends did. all day, people talked about the donors like they were heroes. we watched a video about donating, about a little girl whose live was saved thanks to a donation. my friends' blood will save lives. but i didn't donate today, because my blood is thick with misguided bits of you and to burden someone else with that would be to condemn them, too, to hell.+

i think part of me is still
waiting for prince charming
and it sickens me.

Your trembling hands
are steady for me

Your back is turned to me
And I am freezing cold

But I won't cover up,
Hoping your warm arms will reach out to me again
