Letter

I date this one to around autumn 2009?

dear somebody,

i don’t think it’s fair that only pretty people get to be loved

please keep that in mind the next time you see a cracked ribcage

and a broken glass smile

 

dear somebody,

have you ever tried counting the ceiling cracks instead of sheep?

i think that sleep is cold and gloomy things work better

i always fall asleep when i reach twenty-six

 

dear somebody,

i’m afraid someone might poison my teacup one night while i am sleeping

the doctors call it ipophobia and paranoia

the others call me weird

 

dear somebody,

i rearrange leaves in the park so they make pretty patterns

and i stand between them when the wind blows them all around me

did i mention autumn is my favourite season?

 

dear somebody,

if i told you something, would you keep it to yourself?

sometimes when i am bathing i count how many seconds i can resist without air

i think that sixty-one is my limit

 

dear somebody,

i know i exaggerate but i still think i’m making more sense that everyone else

i wanted to point a gun to my throat and fire

just to know what death tastes like.
