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,
water the plants,
sweep the floor,
and bake.

Then I carried out these tasks,
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.

    I wish I never met you,

    Wish you never made me smile,

    Because I’m afraid of heart break,

    Sentiment

    If I wore a different face would I recognize myself?

    If I no longer had the struggle of beautiful tears,

    Falling from beautiful eyes,

    Would they still be the windows into the soul I know now?
