theres a ghost, shes wearing my face

at parties being introduced with my name

Where'd your pants go?

they ghosted me

That's not very nice of them

theres a ghost, shes wearing my face

at parties being introduced with my name

Where'd your pants go?

“In my dream I apologize to everyone I meet. Instead of introducing myself, I apologize for not knowing why I am alive. I am sorry. I am sorry. I apologize. In real life, oddly enough, when I am fully awake and out and about, if I catch someone’s eye, I quickly look away. Perhaps this too is a form of apology.”

— Claudia Rankine, from Don’t Let Me Be Lonely (via bostonpoetryslam)

“Loneliness has made me a coward. / My memories forget about me. / The good ones have died or disappeared.”
