a list of maybes...

i. Turn off the lights, maybe tomorrow won’t come if our eyes
don’t remember how to see. The first thing on my list to
forget is how home felt like you.

ii. Put your hands over your ears, maybe the world will stop screaming
when you refuse to listen. Tell me how to cry and still
make people think I’m okay.

iii. Quit eating bad bread, maybe yesterday won’t taste like stale goodbyes
if we don’t eat passed the expiration date. I’m not sure how to clean
without unintentionally attempting to wash the sin off of me too.
