Only human- part 2

“You can tell me,” I whisper to the wind.

“It’s worthless now,” I almost hear, whistled through the trees. 

I can’t, I won’t 

I’m done, and I feel too alone to accept it. 

All I have is myself, and I’m not listening.

Drowning in my own thoughts, 

A pool of notes to self and notes to songs. 

Songs I never wrote, 

Songs that let me relive again,

The feeling of hiding from the girls on the street. 

The girls that once were part of me,

They’re so far away now, their presence disappeared.

It’s hard to respect them now, they forgot how to respect me.

Young but not so innocent; they treated me like I wasn’t human,

But where are they now, and do they have an ounce of care,

For an old friend years later?

    as I lay on the living room couch

    basking in heat from the wood-stove

    when I was thirteen 

    and scared of real life

    I gave out advice like candy

    showering my friends with hope

    and watched them grow 

    like sunflowers 

    out of a cold, dark earth

    We lie tired 

    Bundled up in puffers and scarves 

    On the pleather seats of the bus that feels like home. 

     

    You rummage through your red lunchbox, 

    Unpacking each item carefully
