But She Weighs More Than You Do

I pulled her onto my lap and she sobbed
But she weighs more than you do.
So?
Wasn’t it awkward?

At the time it was the perfect thing to do.
Where is she now?

No idea, but I mentioned antidepressants.
Do you think it will work?
They have not kicked in yet.
How do you know?
They are for me.
She told me things I have to try to forget….
