you broke me and i just laughed

i kept looking for stars in the city at night but they never showed up

and loving you is looking for something i cannot find

every time you speak to me, you open even more of my wounds

and the hole in my chest rips me in half when you look like that

i think about the times that i wrote your name underneath my skin at night

and the sheets clung to me as i starved for a dream that would take me to you

you were never mine, even as i woke up with my bones screaming inside my body

and i know you could never have reached that deep anyway

you told me all hearts are broken, and that’s before you broke mine
this is really personal whoops
