you say you never realized what an
insensitive jerk he really, truly is
but you weren’t the one who saw
how his eyes adored you
& you were too busy whispering
apologetic i don’tloveyouanymores
to hear his heart shattering in his chest
(you took the pieces and ate them up
because the only thing you swallow anymore
is teenage payperview destruction)

a/n: the phrase, “eyes adored you” was taken from the Frankie Valli song, My Eyes Adored You.
