she must rinse

[to_intoxicate]

she stole his vocal cords
seperated them from his throat the second she spoke for him
she stapled his eyes shut
and tied his hands behind his back

i am wearing sarah's ring on my finger. i didn't see my andrea today. i wrote and read. i drew and taught and learned. i spoke and listened and felt and am still feeling. i saw the look on your face today. you are empty now. and strangely enough, for the first time, i feel whole. you've hung yourself.

tomorrow night is mr. brewer high. studs on stage, lovely voices and laughter. all of my favorite things.

she is scared to breathe

all i ask is that you try.
