Days like this
When I find myself crying over my soup
Trying not to wake up the cat
Feverishly collating the files in my mind
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
How else can I give my life
I want to give my life
Don’t take hers/his/their life anymore
I’ll give mine
I’ll show you mine
Look! Look at it!
I’ve seen intestines eviscerated and brain matter dripping
And I still tried
We all still tried
Our hands jumped to it, puppets guided by
Nothing more than hope
And love
And hope
And love
And when we couldn’t
So many times that we couldn’t
Get back that life you took
We still lived in hope
And love
And hope
And love
Please don’t take their lives anymore
If you need proof
Just look at mine
