And as we sat in all consuming silence I felt everything collapse within me like a house of cards.
You never cared for me
You never saw me for anything that I was
You merely craved the idea of me
But I am a person who contains multitudes when what you needed was simplicity.
I wished so badly in that moment to be as small and foolish as you’d made me feel.
Because maybe if I was, I wouldn’t see how much nothingness was behind your eyes when you looked at me
