nothing ever revolved around you
December 8, 2013
i.
you found a home in the stars, but
they never really cared for you;
you never shone as brightly
as you thought you did
ii.
you turned me inside-out and you
poured me out onto the floor;
the sounds of your gnashing teeth
have yet to leave my ears—
chew, swallow, consume
iii.
when i became a planet, you
tore your chest out just to
spite me; it’s funny because i
never had a heart
