“You did the wrong thing to the right girl.”
—
Silly girl, why do you keep getting your hopes up? He’s never gonna like you anyway.
I don’t want to “just forget him”. I want to erase him from my story, like a snake shedding a skin that no longer fits.
Look at her. Tell me that girl is not a song of burning.
The alarm rips through the quiet silence
Eyes open to the day
The tug of war begins anew
The comforts of this life pull first
Throwing me to the right
They shove my life of ease under my nose
Look at what you have you foolish girl
They scream
Dreams and desires rip me to the left
A silent, insistent film
Of every dream I’ve ever dreamt
Floods my cortex
Feed your soul
It tells me
Tears fall out of my open eyes
As I spend another day
Being ripped in half
