so this is how the story ends
in the back of a honda cr-v
or the back of a ford fiesta
or the back of a nissan leaf
somehow i thought it'd be more glamorous
if we're going by how i feel inside
i think it ought to be televised
i think i'll stop
i'm sorry
so this is how the story ends
in the big stairwell in bronte
i'll throw myself down the gap in the middle
and i'll scream what i'm scared to say
it's a nice idea for certain
scare the kids who made me feel like shit
when i measure the gap in the railings
i realise i don't fit
of course
so this is how the story ends
alone on my kitchen floor
with my friends begging over discord
and i just breathe some more
with the tip of my blade sitting just under my stomach
and my mother not home for ten minutes
this knife is her favourite
she uses it to cut carrots and cauliflower
the handle is frayed and very old
the side of the blade is curved
my hands are shaky and white-knuckled
as i...
my story isn't over yet
my story isn't over yet
my story isn't over yet
MY STORY ISN'T OVER YET
the knife still sits in her drawer
she still doesn't know
what i wanted to use it for
she still cuts carrots and cauliflower
