To Do:

I began to create a list,
to wash my hair,
and make some food,
and clean the car,
to take the trash out,

sweep the floor,
and bake.

I washed my hair,
and made some food,
and cleaned the car,
took out the trash,
waterd the plants,
swept the floor,
and baked a chocolate cake.

I sat with myself for a moment,
and still felt lonely,
still felt pained,
and still couldn't sleep,
so I made another list.

    About the days that haunted her,

    And those that would come soon.

    She wanted to apologize,

    For wishing on the stars,
