Eggplant
I remember eggplant
I remember getting sick
I remember I remember I remember
being a bad friend, getting sick, not being able to eat onions
and then all the teabags in the world
couldn’t save my soul from being such a bad, bad friend
and then the cutting started
no it didn’t--that was a lie
see how horrible I am
I lied I lied to my best friend before she went to camp
I remember I remember hairy armpits and taking acid
I remember her talking about getting raped
did she lie too? no it wasn’t a lie.
it was not a lie
only I lie to my best friends
