it's a terrible pattern we've fallen into:

i tear my heart open
hoping that you will do the same
and am only met with disdain
in your light eyes that hold more darkness
than i'd ever like to know

or I beg you to look at the stars with me
but you just turn your head
and close your lavender eyelids
in a childish move to spite me
in the ways you know it will

when i smile at you
you look away

and that's how i know
you never meant to stay
