nothing to see here.

i am but an empty shell
alone in my room.

thinking of what i could be doing
had i not ripped out your heart
with careless words
that rolled off my tongue.

prideful and disgusting,
i didn't expect that
you would be able to
retrieve your heart
and
i didn't know
that i had ripped up
my own heart too.

Now you've moved on
doing things you always wanted to do
(but couldn't when we were together)
and i'm still here

alone in my room
thinking of what i could be doing
had i not ripped out your heart
with careless words
that i truly, truly,
regret.
