I was at a competition.
Most difficult one yet-
and the news came through
two dead
one in critical condition
now I'm watching a bug crawl on the walls
and i feel its eyes on us
my speech was- is about a woman whos mom died
and now i know the pain
not word for word
but close enough to feel my chest ripped open
it was all seniors
Aiden
Kayden
no it was juniors
Cadence
Aiden
the words kept changing
one too many times to process
was it him
or was it him
friend or friend
which do you hope for
don't falter
don't let your team down
it's sad but you have a competition
and despite it all
5th
a finalist
when you come home put on your dress
there's a dance
nevermind it's cancelled
invite your friends over
why?
something fun
as looney tunes plays over and over
as blue planet depicts the whales
and your lonely bones ache
and the pain fades
because you'll never see them again
and there's nothing you can do.
