The Girl With the Face That Looks Just Like Mine

she bought a bottle of cheap, over the counter
sleeping pills,
she hid them under pillows
for when she couldn’t sleep at night.

the dreams the girl had
all ran away
and she was left alone

until she took the bottle of blue
Advil PM and mixed it with
thick alcohol
to wash away the
regret.

so the girl with a face
that looks just like mine
drowned it all and died
at the hand of
depression

and left me
behind.
