emotions

vingt trois (n)

i don't understand
how you can smile all day long
but cry yourself to sleep at night.
how pictures can never change
but the people in them do.
how your best friend can
become your worst enemy,
or how strange it is
when your worst enemy
turns into your best friend.
how forever turns into
a few short months
that you'd do almost
anything to get back.
how you can you
let go of something
you once said
you couldn't live without.
how even though
you know something
is the best for you
it just hurts the same.
how the people
who once wanted to
spend every second with you
think a few minutes of their time
is too much to spare.
how people make
promises
despite knowing
how common it is
for promises to be broken.
how people can
erase you
from their lives
just because it's easier
than working things out.
