11:11AM Thursday October 4

 

the sun blares like nothing's changed

nothing's changed

right?

 

your ring is still on my finger

where you put it

 

so nothing's changed

 

and yet i'm falling, falling, falling

there's something wrong with my heart

there's something wrong

shaking my head in disbelief

no, this isn't happening

 

my body crumples into reeds

by the riverside

 

Hapi smiles

and dunks my head under the water

again

again

and i am blinded

to the lack of you

the sound of rushing water

preventing me from hearing

dial tone

 

no nothing's changed

it can't have changed

you were just saying how you loved me

yesterday

how could you have stopped so suddenly

how

could this have changed so suddenly

this isn't happening

 

we can get through this right

we always get through this

 

and Hapi just smiles

as he drowns me
