Sad

I like to think they dipped me in sorrow
Thetis took me to the river
Held me by the ankle
Sunk me to the bottom with rocks sewed into my feet
It's easier to think that
The sadness is just on me
That I could wash it off if
I scrubbed hard enough

    Did you know that, when you read me, I am made of memories
