i don’t know how i got here<\/p>\n

don’t know how i’ll get back home<\/p>\n

this weight is just too heavy<\/p>\n

i’ll soon be broken and alone<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

her funeral, not the place for this confession<\/p>\n

but, if not here, then where, or when<\/p>\n

i have to relieve myself of this furtive knowledge<\/p>\n

before I become a monster, not her friend<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

god, kali, buddha, can any higher power hear me<\/p>\n

please help me rid myself of this toxin<\/p>\n

deep, dark secret that I cannot carry<\/p>\n

tight-lipped, don’t think I’ll make it till the end<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

when she died, i swore complete allegiance<\/p>\n

but now reality has set so far in<\/p>\n

i’m sorry, eliza, i just can’t do it<\/p>\n

i confess that she and i were more than friends<\/p>\n
