Magnets


Why do you lie to me?
Am I that worthless?
Undeserving of your
Trust, of your
Presence?

Am I that repulsive that you can't even
Speak to me?

For god's sake,
Just
Speak to me!

Do you see me
When you sit by the mirror
And cry?
I see you.
Unbroken, clear,
Sweet and spiteful.

Stare at the ceiling,
The sky,
Read my name in the stars,
The paint.

I painted that sky for you.
I painted the clouds, the sun.
I hung the moon for you. I hung my heart.
You hung your lungs up there to match.
Split your lip trying to get them out of me.
It was all for me,
All for you.

You took my breath away,
So I stole yours
Right out of your chest.
