do you ever think about all the girls who's corpses are placed beside portraits of dissociated, dead eyed boys? do you think of all the girls who had their hair cropped short and their bodies stuffed into ill fitting old suits before being put in their caskets? do you ever think of all the parents crying over dead boys they made up in their heads because they were too proud to love their daughters? do you ever think of all the girls being mourned in whispers to keep from offending those same parents? do you ever think of all the girls who are killed a second time, their memory sacrificed in service of a convenient fiction of an inexplicably sad boy who took his own life for no real reason?
