she's sitting in a cupboard
waiting for people who aren't looking
to find her
like she did half a lifetime ago
don't make too much noise
they might hear you
stifle your sobs
or you might make your sick father sicker
or you might push your deep mother deeper
no one's coming
no one's coming
scratching at the purple paint
the purple paint
the purple pain
find me before I drown,
I'm drowning
it's a long way down
save me before I break
I'm breaking
I can't do this on my own
can anybody hear me?
I don't exist, I'm nothing
this hurt hollows
to the bottom
set it free, let it out
cut it from your skin
and let it bleed til the
good blood comes
No. No.
Hold it together.
