your eyes always seemed a bit too green
flecks of gold
she couldn't see
until she got as close as me
every night instead of sleeping
you held me close
like a lifeline
five months later
goodbye bitter on my tongue
wishing i didn't see
you and her smiling
just like you and me
before you crushed my glass heart
now i lay awake at night
thinking of her touching your
bare arms, bare back, bare breasts
i skip meals
saying i'm not feeling well
'cause now all i can think about
is that time when
i was the one
lying naked next to you
arms like branches of trees
twisted together
eyes burning fires
now i am left
cleaning up the shares
of my glass heart
while she holds your hand
and i am forced to realize
this is the end of our fire
yet even when surrounded by ashes
i still desire
