1. You love too fiercely

and are ardently sympathetic

when it comes to the way you feel,

and you seem to forget that we’ll never last

because we’ve never even loved

so the point is lost

in infinite lust that crawled its way into you.

2. You live in your own kingdom, which is ruled upon selfishness

and it’s too easy to gossip

and brag

and pretend like we matter

when we both know love is only a hallucinogen

that we’ve far past overdosed on.

3. You’re sick

because no one’s ever loved me

and no one ever will

because my atmosphere is too thin for you to survive

and yours is so thick i’d surely suffocate

so really, what’s the point?

4. You’re a dreamer

swimming in stars who wish upon you

and i’m a realist

sitting on the blood moon that drips shadows

and takes cover from things that illuminate too brightly.

5. You think you love me,

but darling, you’re wrong.
