Threnody

I don't know anyone who knew you

So I don't know how to talk about you

Hear me, why don't you hear me?

I keep yelling until my ears bleed

And I keep screaming until I can't speak

Kill me, why won't you kill me

How to walk through that house again

When you won't be at the kitchen table

Eating dinner, miserable

Coming home late from a job you hate

When you won't burst right into my bedroom

Fourteen outfits, a new perfume

A fight you lose 'cause you could never choose

What I'd give to run up the hill and lay by the water that

Jesus would have walked on

As we breathed in the whole world and breathed out ourselves

I am, I am, I am alone
