A Good Little Girls Zine

Withdrawal

back home a loneliness fills
the reality of it ending
the fantasy blown away
by the winds of truth

unpack
rearrange
call him
call her
call them
eat right
exercise
back on track
detox

back home a loneliness fills
only at night
in the dark
silence
it’s over
really
over

And now
the rest begins
