You stand before me
And reiterate with verve
Each precious moment
With a precision that is absurd
I cannot fault your passion
And your immersion is complete
So much so that you fail to notice
My heart that lies shattered
Amongst the debris of me, at your feet
And reiterate with verve
Each precious moment
With a precision that is absurd
I cannot fault your passion
And your immersion is complete
So much so that you fail to notice
My heart that lies shattered
Amongst the debris of me, at your feet

i. you once said that
i looked prettiest at night
until now
i didn’t realise that

ii. you told me i was a star
and you were just the sky
i thought that was romantic
but i wish you’d told me
that you meant
there were a million others

"i was just worried about you. you weren't replying to my texts!"
you said you were okay and that you had to hang out with your family for the evening.
i hung up and said i'd talk to you online later.
at nine p.m. i wrote to you on facebook.
you said you were just signing off and going bed.
you had to be up early.
i said it was okay and to get some sleep.
i went to bed too

because you said you would but
this is the fifth time you said you'd call, but you didn't. and i forgave you the
first four times, but this time i can't. not because it's something [s]s[p]t[e]u[c]p[i]i[a]d[l]
like my birthday or the time my mom was in the hospital and i needed to talk to you,
but you were busy. it's because i know the reason why
you aren't dialing my number and muttering my name under your breath is because you're
too busy going to the mall with her and no, i know you're not holding her hand, but
in a couple of weeks/months/days, you'll be hoping you are.
it's because i cried so hard the breath caught in my throat and all i wanted was
