Not Sempiternal
We used to have the same lunch,
didn’t we?
We used to laugh at the same jokes,
wouldn’t we?
We were woven from the same fabric
weren’t we?
I showed my scars
and they scared you away.
I gave you my heart
and you shattered it.
I’ve never felt so close
and yet so far away.
It is like writing a letter to the one
who I’ll never get to see.
But your words are terse,
short,
I am appalled. How can
the sweetest person I know
be the one to hurt me?
