#the lakes

i was listening to 'the lakes' yesterday and think i've been overlooking the line "what should be over burrowed under my skin in heart-stopping waves of hurt." she doesn't go so far as to examine why this hurt still levels her, but she's admitting that it should be gone by now. feels so intertwined with "i trace the evidence make it make some sense why the wound is still bleeding" and "they say what doesn't kill you makes you aware what happens if it becomes who you are?" and and

shoutout to the girls with calamitous love and insurmountable grief. ily
