The thing is,
I fell in love last year,

the kind of love you can’t go back on
irrevocable and irreversible
and unrequited.
see, I fell in love with someone who didn’t quite
love me back
love me like I loved them
love me at all.
or maybe they did, I never asked
and that hurt
and my heart began to sag, it drooped and it flopped and
I'm not sure why it is still beating
how can this pain in my chest not just end it all,
stop the beating.
how can this sadness I feel not just consume me,

maybe it already has
eaten me up from the inside out

but one day I am going to wake up
and not think of you
not dream of you
and i am going to get over you and be happy
one day I am going to hear your name and it wont kill me
and then I will be free.
