Emotional Support Sad Girl

basically a love letter to my favorite musician of all time

watching pet sematary 

even though it’s not that scary

just want to be close to you

I know you don’t feel it, too

listen to you in the dark

here it comes, my favorite part

the highest note you’ve ever hit

I always try to savor it

but it always hits the roof of my mouth

never tasted, always spit it back out

heard you crying for the first time

never knew how sad you were

if you want, I’ll stay and listen

if it makes it easier

we could put on wayne’s world

it’s another of your favorites

I read that on the old website

when you were way more famous

back when you were belting out

the feelings settled in your mouth

I always liked the way you’d sing

about the things “behind your teeth”

but I still love most everything you say

you’re always there for all of my worst days

and you’ve been having a bad day now

for some insane amount of years

I guess I should have guessed it

because you always knew my fears

but as I wait it out with baited breath

you spelled it out and I knew then

my comfort needed comforting

and isn’t that the damnedest thing

so I’ve been having the worst year of my life now

I’d bet that you could say the same

23 so far is something that might undo all ways

I had built myself up into something safe

my love has left me for another girl that wasn’t me

and I know that you know how that feels

you always do, it seems

so I’m looking at the slowly graying brown on my bent head

how much happier would I be if I dyed it riot red?

and listened to dead horse on repeat laying in my bed?

bet that I’d be happier with you just being sad

and I have been

and I have
