Hi Zoe,
It’s been a few years now…
There’s not much to say…
Except how fucking stupid you were for taking your life away.
Sure, you were pushed to the edge,
Sure, we wanted a show…
But we didn’t really want this,
We didn’t think that’s where you’d go…
Hi Zoe,
Not a day goes by that we don’t miss you,
We wished that you could stay,
We never forgive ourselves for not noticing
That you went astray…
You’re in a better place now,
Hopefully white, like a pearl.
But we still want you back,
Our sweet baby girl.
We love you a thousand
Wish we could’ve said it more
But even when we did,
all of our branches were ignored…
Sleep tight, little Zoe
You look peaceful here at the end…
A loving, caring daughter,
And a kind, loyal friend.
Hey Zoe,
Sorry for not writing,
It’s been a while, that’s true…
We just don’t really know what to say to you…
We’re hurt… Broken, wrecked
All thanks to your… stunt.
Did you think to ask us for help…
When your days felt blunt?
No, no, you never did,
It’s all because of your ego
That ego that took away,
One of our most-important people…
Goodbye, Zoe…
We’ll remember you for what it’s worth
We’re best friends forever,
Even if you’re not on this earth…
Hi there Zoe,
It’s me, what a shock
Did you really think you could talk to everyone
But the person that paved the path you walk?
I was there when you were budding…
Just a little sprout,
When you feared what would happen
If you stopped hiding and came out…
But no, that never happened Zoe,
It never, ever did.
You hid until you died,
Never grew past being that little kid.
Well, I’m here now, so…
I guess I can help you shout…
Maybe help some other people
Figure you out…
Little Zoe here is different than others
A freak, if you’d say…
So abandon her and toss her
Like a painting that’s gone gray.
Zoe is just confused,
Doesn’t know who she wants to be
Should I tell everyone now
That you used to be a “he”?
Oh, I’m going too far now?
You don’t like the truth?
You don’t like someone speaking facts to you?
You’re a dumb little mutt, Zoe…
You should be tossed to the side,
You wasted the one life you had,
What a surprise.
