SIGH

you didnt tell me
bells would fall from the sky
you didnt tell me
so many people that i loved
would die
you didnt tell me i would
forget how to cry
and grow heavy and dull
and just sigh
ITS HORRIFYING
BUT THERES NO DENYING
my grey hairs are
ganging up on me
theyre gonna try and
take me
but im
unbreakable.
my roots are
unshakable.
go ahead
overturn the table.
youll just have to
pay the waitress later
and feel ashamed
of yourself
im just gonna stand here
the girl with the empty grin
and the excellent timing
who taught herself
all of these things

and all i can do is sigh for you.
all i can do for you. is sigh.
