You say you want to know me.

But what can I say?

What can I tell you

when I have always been there,

an open book,

every page turned toward you,

every word written on paper

that never burned.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgdWL3DVMv
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLnOzqCmGs

I made myself free,

free for you to read.

I filled you in,

again and again,

with stories you refused to hear.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9zc8JjDMn

You never seemed interested.

You never wanted to try.

So what do you want to know now?

What is left for me to say,

when words crumble

like ash in your hands?8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriZApGs274

What's the point of speaking

if you will not listen?

If you will not

see me.

Respect me.

Read me.

I don't understand.

Why do you ask about me now?

You didn't care before.

Not when I was with you,

not when I loved you more,

more than this silence.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuIec0okZ4
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsERIVRyizZ

So why are you asking about me now,

when the spine of my story

has already broken

beneath the weight of your absence?
