you cannot hand me your death
you cannot wrap it up into a neat little box
and expect me to hold onto it
to carry it around
all the while smiling
pretending that i accept it because its easier for you
i cannot accept it
it's not a gift to me
altho it may be one to you
a gift
a gift when all the suffering will be gone
for you
but not for me
so stop expecting me to be strong
i'm still a child
you know
your child, a selfish child
and i want to cry and scream and kick and fight
because you wont cry and scream and kick and fight
i looked every week in the rolling stone for my obituary
when you told me i was dead to you
it was my inside joke
i could be strong then even tho it hurt
but not like this
i cannot hold onto your death
i have no place to put it
it's too heavy for me to carry
i do not want to be an orphan

again

    not selfish

    just true
    "Stunned by my own reflection, It's looking back, sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again, Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down,down,down"

    When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"

    I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.

    Why are you and the other person killing each other?
    :(

    no one is killing anyone
    however, someone is dying
