I thought heartbreak was
When my favourite doll broke
Or when my ice cream fell to the ground
Until last week when I lied to you
And told you I only see you as my brother
And I
only did such a thing
So that things wouldn’t be awkward anymore
Because everyone talks
And you thought it was true
Even though it was
But I fooled you with lies
That’s all I fed you. Just lies.
And I got my karma.
Because we don’t share jokes
Or tease each other anymore
And you don’t call me your best friend anymore
Like you did when you would get high
And that’s because you don’t get high around me
anymore
When we see each other
It’s during public events
And when I see you, I manage a smile
And all our secrets are hidden behind our smiles with
Just a small greeting, polite and painful
The smile that once made me laugh now makes me cry.
And now, I know what heartbreak is.
