The Girl Who Spit Flowers

track viii

the sun revolves
around and yet
it has never had the
slightest of issues
of attention.
you were like
that, you obtained
the attention
just with your existence.

and when high school
happened,
we drifted apart;
the norms of society was
against a pretty boy
hanging around
a plain girl.

you hung out with
everyone famous
and beautiful,
and i?
hidden in the crowds,
away from the sight
of all the magnificence
of your cult –
away from you.

did it hurt you
like it hurt me?
did it shatter you
like it shattered me?
did you miss me
like i missed you?
it probably didn't.

i thought it was true.
i was forgotten.
