are screaming
get over it
grow up
pick your battles
but no one picks their battles
battles pick you
heartache finds you
and heartbreak breaks you
and she's gasping for air
because her heartstrings,
her heartstrings somehow
got tangled around her lungs.
and she's not used to them being pulled in this way
screaming.
Maybe it was that I read this out loud with "the funeral" from June's blog, and maybe it was that i did it again and it was definitely the writing and the last line and the line breaks like I talked about last week but oh well.
ReplyDeleteI get excited waiting for yours every sunday.

(yeah I can see why you didn't want me to remember you said that lol oh well)
