we were at McDonald's
and you only ordered fries
there weren't any stars
that night
you held my hand
like you always did
after a meal
your fingers were as cold
as the midnight breeze
weird
you were always warm
whenever we touched
no matter how cold it was
it was strange
your skin somehow felt foreign
it was as if we were
doing this for the first time
you were staring at me
I didn't notice
I was on my phone
your eyes felt different
looked different
I used to describe them as
deep
captivating
oceans
I could drown in
forever
but now they're just
blue
dull
eyes
weird
you were smiling at me
I didn't notice
your smile felt different
I used to describe it as
breathtaking
beautiful
but now it's just
red lips and teeth
you were talking to me
I didn't notice
you were saying something
about a movie?
I wasn't listening
I used to love your stories
your voice used to breakthrough
my ears
straight to my heart
I used to describe it as
smooth
calming
soothing
but now it's just
noise
weird
you asked me what was wrong?
I didn't notice
I told you I was fine
we were at McDonalds
and you only ordered fries
there weren't any stars that night
you held my hand
and I held yours
god
help me tell her
I don't love her anymore
