and i feel my heart start to crack, its glass too fragile
"don't give me that look," you sigh
as i give you that look

"i still love you though" you say
and i'm forced to wonder why
if you loved me
why would you leave?
but you go eventually
and i cover myself in smoke from a cigarette
feeling as though i burn just like it does in my hand
"i have regrets" i whisper
but you're not there to hear it
"i still love you" i sob
but you're long gone.
