about

written by kat bula

lyrics

for 21 years, i loved you. i waited for you to notice me, to thank me for keeping you company; i was born to no other purpose.

i thought that someday you'd sit on your bed with a library copy of grey's anatomy, pouring as though it were pornography, or your family tree. with one index finger on the diagram, you'd slide your other index finger from your hip toward your belly button, find me and press in. say my name, and make me amazing.

for 21 years, i waited for you to feel me. but you don't feel anything unless it hurts. so I swelled up inside you. i thought we'd die together.

i saw you a moment before I was gone: you were laid out on a table with needles in your hands. hands that never held me; you never even looked at me. you looked like death there, but you were still breathing. you were awfully ugly, actually, in that backless gown.

the nurse carried me to the incinerator, and now i'm free.
