Cellophane
“Didn’t I do it for ya?” It’s one of those nights where I feel like I could’ve done more. I could’ve helped you. I could’ve saved us if I just helped you a little more. But then I remember. I remember the one thing I shouldn’t. I remember how emotionless you were that night. I… Continue reading

Look After You
Last year I made a brave decision not every young person has to make. In fact, i’ve made a lot of decisions that not many people my age have ever had to make. Around this time last year, it would’ve been two and half months since I had last seen my boyfriend. We didn’t break… Continue reading
