Break ups aren't looking at the city's skyline and realizing a whole new world ahead of you They're not being able to get out of bed because the sadness has consumed even your bones They aren't eating ice cream while watching a chick flick with your friends They're 7 pounds of weight disappearing in a week because all you want is the taste of their lips They are not listening to a playlist of break-up songs and feeling better They are not being able to hear anything but the sound of his voice when he gets out of your car for the last ******* time when he says "I'm sorry, thanks for the ride." They are not quietly crying to yourself alone in your room They're headaches from screaming hard your muscles ache They are not about forgiving yourself They're sleeping till one pm and going to bed at 3 am because you can't seem to stop thinking about all the things you should've said They're not drowning yourself in ***** so you can forget They're waking up in the middle of the night infuriated and screaming into your sheets "Why me?" They are not having everyone support you They are listening to the snippy girls in the hallway call you "pyscho" even though they have no idea you are holding back tears They aren't being able to move on They are watching you first love walk down the hallway looking at her they way he used to look at you and it feels like you just got shot but can't seem to die so you live with the pain They are not looking at the world and still seeing light despite your darkness. They are hours in your room thinking "if the person I care about the most isn't going to give a **** about me, then what is the point?"

What's the point
Break ups aren't looking at the city's skyline and realizing a whole new world ahead of you They're not being able to get out of bed because the sadness has consumed even your bones They aren't eating ice cream while watching a chick flick with your friends They're 7 pounds of weight disappearing in a week because all you want is the taste of their lips They are not listening to a playlist of break-up songs and feeling better They are not being able to hear anything but the sound of his voice when he gets out of your car for the last ******* time when he says "I'm sorry, thanks for the ride." They are not quietly crying to yourself alone in your room They're headaches from screaming hard your muscles ache They are not about forgiving yourself They're sleeping till one pm and going to bed at 3 am because you can't seem to stop thinking about all the things you should've said They're not drowning yourself in ***** so you can forget They're waking up in the middle of the night infuriated and screaming into your sheets "Why me?" They are not having everyone support you They are listening to the snippy girls in the hallway call you "pyscho" even though they have no idea you are holding back tears They aren't being able to move on They are watching you first love walk down the hallway looking at her they way he used to look at you and it feels like you just got shot but can't seem to die so you live with the pain They are not looking at the world and still seeing light despite your darkness. They are hours in your room thinking "if the person I care about the most isn't going to give a **** about me, then what is the point?"
