⚠️Trigger Warning: the following poem contains subject matter pertaining to suicide⚠️
~
Taped to the paper towel dispenser
in the school washroom,
is a copy of the lyrics to
Lovely by Billie Eilish & Khalid.
I've highlighted my favourite lines
in fluorescent pink.
thought I found a way out
may 30th:
the night I
almost
bleed myself out in the bathtub.
but you never go away
Haunted.
guess I've gotta stay now
what‘s stopping me?
isn't lovely all alone?
where have you gone?
lookin’ for a better place
I wish I was dead.
something’s on my mind
This pain
oh, I hope some day I make it out of here
what the fuck is stopping me?
tear me to pieces skin and bone
When I come back to the washroom 10 minutes later,
someone has taken the lyrics
down—
and
isn’t it lovely?
(it is)
