The Boneyard by Melodie Yvonne
My friends list is a graveyard for my exes
It’s a place where people live that used to call me “bestie”
It’s a silent unseen mass I judge myself against
It’s a lifelong list of all the “friends” that just came and went
Then there’s heartache in the “suggestions” there’s the girl that stole my husband
If you can read my mind to sell stuff why not fix that?
2000 little faces all look back at me and say
I’m your “friend”, so why am I alone tonight?
My friends list is a living cemetery
where people with no time for me check “like” and call it caring
and I don’t know how we will all survive
building cities of the dead while still alive
