As I lie in bed,
Information box in hand
But I won't cry
I open my photos
To find a meme
But I won't cry
I scroll for minutes
Swipe, swipe, swipe
But I won't cry
I see a photo of my friends
Smiles spanning ear to ear
But I won't cry
I see a cat tiktok I saved
Poor furball doesn't know it's alive
But I won't cry
I see my trip to the festival with my friend
I still wear the bracelet I bought with her there
But I won't cry
I see a mirror selfie
I'm wearing a shirt I got as a birthday gift
But I won't cry
I try to turn off my phone but I can't
Memory after memory after memory
But I won't cry
I see a funny youtube clip
I'm too numb to care so I scroll
But I won't cry
I stop
I saw a photo of me and my partner
But I won't cry
I try turn off my phone
But I see a photo of my friend of 12 years
I try turn it off
I see the drawing my best friend handed me mid english class
I try turn it off
I see my first day of high school
I try turn it off
I see my trip to the beach on my 11th birthday
I try turn it off
I hit the end of my gallery
My room is dark
As if my eyes are closed
I lie down in the silence
But I will not cry
