When we enter I can tell that everybody sees us
The lesbians
Used to be best friends
Dating
The whispers hurt more than the open insults
The secrets are louder that her voice
Dylan are you okay
Should we go
The pain is the only thing I see
I can taste the hurt and guilt flying around me
Tornado
Tomato
Potato
Lost in thought
Dylan
Whats wrong Dylan
Dylannn
Dyyylaaaaannnnn
Ddddddddyyyyyyyylllllllllaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn
The world burbles and distorts itself
Dylan are you okay
You look sick
We should go to the nurse
Cant support myself
Shaky
Like the switch in my bedroom dimming the lights around
Me
They dance as they exit
Stage left
Dyyyylllannn
I can feel the exclamation points
Dylan talk to me
I was never good at secrets
The anxiety destroyed me
and I can't even eat or sleep and now i'm a sack of bones
supported by lies and pretending to love
Three months is too long to keep a secret
Like this
One
Dylan
Dylan please
I love you
But I don't love you Claire
Im sorry but I don't
And I never did
It was all pretend
Because remember that
Glass vase in my moms
Office that we were never allowed
To touch and when
We did it broke and
Shattered
And it was so pretty when
It was whole but then
The pieces were ugly
And they hurt me when I cleaned it
Up
You are the vase and i
Am still me
And if tell the truth I will
Touch the vase
And break it all over again
But the pieces will hurt too much to
Sweep up and no matter
What itll still never be
Whole again
