"I'm sorry that you sprained your ankle And that your dog died two years ago" Best now to change subjects Lest you feel pain on my behalf It's called people pleasing Never learned how to set boundaries Abandoning all my scheming To keep somebody in my life This grief is temporary Roll through just like my ankle Bones creaking they hold steady This pain is temporary Leash wrapped around my beltline Isolate and pretend that I'm fine Old habits they don't serve me Can I truly show vulnerability Without detachment I am forced To swim through my emotions And no one's listening Except my dog But she can't sing back to me This grief is temporary Roll through just like my ankle Bones creaking they hold steady This pain is temporary This grief is temporary Roll through just like my ankle Bones creaking they hold steady This pain is temporary But it hurts It really fucking hurts
