So, what do I do with my heart now?
Or whatever is left of it
My mind understands
But my heart is lonely
Is this what it feels like to grow up?
I chose you
Because I thought
Together we never would.
Conversations are hollow
We sit as close and as far apart
As we have ever been
My heart on a loose string
Toggled by the wind
An empty tin
Kicked around in the dust
It hurts to feel.
My stomach burns.
To be seen but not understood
To be loved but not made to feel love
To be known but not fully noticed
We miss each other
At every turn
I walk in, you walk out
I breathe in, you breathe out
We are out of sync
And I had thought you of all people would never leave me.
