Eavesdropping

I will be using they/them pronouns for everyone to keep their identities safe.

You hear me say it

Three days

You say

Wouldn't you be dead

That's not how life works

But I said more before that

If you would just tell me

How much you heard

If you heard everything

Please don't worry about me

We used to talk all the time

Now I barely see you in the halls

Because of Saturday

We don't talk

You don't know what I've been facing since

What I've done

What I haven't done

When we did talk

You cared

Now I just pray you didn't hear

Because who knows what would happen

I don't want a repeat of Monday

Or Friday

Or Saturday

We all know how that turned out

But please

Tell me what you heard

Tell me what you know

About me

About any of it

About all of it

Tell me

Are you concerned?

Do I need to "be positive"

Do I need to start what I've stopped

We all know what would happen if you heard

Saturday would repeat itself

Please don't let that happen

And please

For the love of God

Try not to eavesdrop
