I knew it was coming.
I’ve broken
the law
s o m a n y t i m e s.
It was inevitable.
I just wish I had
Mother,
Father,
and Violet
here to support me.
I can almost hear Mother’s
calm, smooth
voice, telling me It’ll be
alright.
I can almost feel Father's
h a n d o n m y a r m,
squeezing reassuringly.
I can almost smell Violet’s
homemade 草莓 perfume
as she buries her head
into my neck.
A final good-bye.
I don’t like good-byes because
they seem too formal.
I’d rather settle for
just leaving
than facing the
people I love
and risk
bursting
out
in *t e a r s*
Anything but that.
I might die right
then
and
there.
