But I can\u2019t eat<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m sitting on a couch <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same couch where one message from you once caused my hands to shake has me shaking again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same couch where I finished my musical<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where I kissed a mistake <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrote emails and gossiped and found crumbs <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My stomach is empty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I can\u2019t eat <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnce I\u2019m done with people they\u2019re gone\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re gone but your name has never come up more<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m thinking of you hoping to rewrite your name into acceptance <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or suppressing every thought to forget your presence <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe if I get rid of all your stuff I\u2019ll feel full <\/p>\n\n\n\n
if I go to Blue Llama if I go to Pinball Pete\u2019s maybe I\u2019ll be comfortable in chaos <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My stomach is empty but I cannot eat <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can\u2019t watch anything I\u2019ve never seen <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cry when I can\u2019t ge a refund for a cake at coldstone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I sleep with my back aching under LED lights at christmas time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the pit passes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I find a few moments where I\u2019m freed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My stomach is empty and I see through the haze<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I finally eat <\/p>\n\n\n\n
