my eye hasn't stopped twitching
in about a week
or maybe three
how long have i been sitting here
staring into the sink
staring into me
constantly sobbing behind my eyes
as i orbit circles of camaraderie
hopelessly bobbing through syrup of try
and grasping for invisible trees
where we could meet
how has the sun already gone down
i haven't even moved yet
i can't even brush my teeth
i can't stop thinking of those fake towns
and stabbing my alphabet
clinging to nobody
i feel restless and sick
it's hard to breathe
but i'll still read it again
and lose my knees
there's only so many ways
to express that
i'm just so unendingly lonely
tangling helixes out of my reach
impenetrable screens
write a whole dumb story
i can write whatever i want
there's nothing i can do
i'll never get any closer
to the answer to
how do you make friends?
