float by Angela Thomasgoodbye, goodbye. was this all just a lie?
were the late night calls, me rocking you back
into consciousness while the drugs coursed through
your veins, you lying to your best friend to spend
time with me, the most valuable gift you can give.
i called you yesterday because i was sick -- like when
your chest hurt and all you could think of to do was ring
me -- and instead of asking how i was, you roasted me over
the grill trying to discover some hidden secret. ice cream
and beer, like a wicked float in my stomach exploded. no late
night revelries, no dirty, steamy sex with the headboard banging,
no major drugs or intoxicants. just one little girl doubled-over
in pain as cramps rack her body, tears slip down her face, and she
wonders -- why do i have to bear this alone? goodbye, goodbye. 06/16/2009 Posted on 06/16/2009 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas
