I promised you i’d plant those **** pink roses but that Sunday morning that you broke me in ways even my best friend didn’t think was possible and i realized it was probably a good thing that the whole thing was a production of strictly pretend; a play, a script, an authors first mistake- that day, i clipped every last flower off and set the remains in a little drawer with shards of glass i broke in my sleep because i loved you every single day despite my i’m over you i’m over you i’m over you that i repeated with the foolish hope of convincing somebody that air still funnels through my lungs and it’s come to my attention that i’d pick my head over my heart but that is only because i am a toy car abandoned by every single pair of hands to wind it up and let it go And yes, I will reduce my emotions to dust or enlarge them in full zoom but I cannot get over that fact that the clementines rotted in front of us and you devoured the part of me that let my heart reign over my head and snapped the key to my rib cage; you promised you would keep it safe and you lied

The High School Production of A Slightly Cracked Left Atrium
I promised you i’d plant those **** pink roses but that Sunday morning that you broke me in ways even my best friend didn’t think was possible and i realized it was probably a good thing that the whole thing was a production of strictly pretend; a play, a script, an authors first mistake- that day, i clipped every last flower off and set the remains in a little drawer with shards of glass i broke in my sleep because i loved you every single day despite my i’m over you i’m over you i’m over you that i repeated with the foolish hope of convincing somebody that air still funnels through my lungs and it’s come to my attention that i’d pick my head over my heart but that is only because i am a toy car abandoned by every single pair of hands to wind it up and let it go And yes, I will reduce my emotions to dust or enlarge them in full zoom but I cannot get over that fact that the clementines rotted in front of us and you devoured the part of me that let my heart reign over my head and snapped the key to my rib cage; you promised you would keep it safe and you lied
