Go Make Me Something To Eat (A Poem From My Real Life) Poem by Lilith Jenenji

Siblings,
why'd you have to go, why'd you leave me alone.
I'm so lonely now without you, I have nothing to talk about,
Now the house is quiet and the phone doesn't ring.
The silence is creepy... I'm jumping out of my skin
with every noise, since now all I hear is constant buzzing.
I've stumbled down to talking to myself and smiling at myself
in the mirror, screaming, waiting for someone to notice how
alone I am, someone I've known my whole life...

Someone I used to cherish in my life, who I used to jump
up and down, waiting for them to come home from school.
and waiting to hear their voices say
'Hey, how was your day? ' or
'Yo! Go make me something to eat.'

I used to have a purpoe but now I don't because you both left...
Left me alone...
