she's always a day late to the party
everyone is done
she's only just getting started

she's cold in her body
while everyone is warm
with somebody

but at least she's not at home
for then she'd be
all alone

she woke up today in an oversized sweater
a bruise on her arm
she can't really remember

chocolate lingering on her lips
but it doesn't matter
because it wasn't a kiss

she didn't reply to the spam of texts
she left them unread
most of them were from her ex

she didn't want to get confused
but this is her
what else could she do

because she was always overly aware
didn't run away
always chose truth over dare

her honesty could turn you into dust
all dried up
she took our tears away from us
