We ran far and wide. You screamed, you cried. You thought suicide was an alibi but you were always a mess. You were always aloof. Yeah, it's awful, I guess, but it's the awful truth. It was truth from the first to the last words that she read.

Cough syrup and drugs, bandages and gauze. The razor's dull. The water, cold against my skin. The radio lull, the static buzzing around like tin. ]

It just feels like nobody has anything to say anymore. Not like anyone's ever listening.
