we used to be as close as

the earth and the moon,

my mind would constantly

orbit around you,

though as we slowly got older

the sun burned out

and then you were completely

powered by “tiny glowing screens”

it didn’t matter the journey

I took to see you

once in a while,

you never made an effort

to even say hello,

you shut the door on me

and everyone around you,

you became

the girl behind closed doors,

the girl who I felt I needed to write about

so you could finally exit my mind,

the girl who made me

slowly fall out of love with you
