We Don't Talk Anymore

Hello there!

How are you?

Oh wait, we don't talk anymore.

 

You must have forgotten how we were best buds.

Because just yesterday we were talking like normal.

Now it's like you were never here except for the broken pieces of my trust you left behind.

You said it wouldn't hurt as much this time, if there even was a this time, because there would be more of a warning.

You straight up lied to me.

And now I'm a pathetic, worthless, miserable girl.

 

An overwhelming taste of salt in my mouth.

Bones aching unbearably from distress.

Concerned faces when I break down at school.

Sitting with my friends at lunch but it feels like I'm sitting alone.

Hearing the words "I understand", but knowing they don't.

They just want my pain to go away.

Feeling like I don't belong at school because the person I cherish the most hates me.

 

Three months later you come back.

You know I love you, a friendly love.

I'll always take you in with open arms,

And you know that.

But those pieces you made aren't going to glue themselves back together.

Get to work.

You made this mess.

Fix it.

And you do.

But when you get to the last piece you stop so you have something to leave over again and shatter my trust into even smaller pieces than before.

I'll text you one day saying:

 

Hello there!

How are you?

Oh wait, we don't talk anymore.
