told me it was over
i didn’t hear you .
then i saw you sticking your tongue
down someone else’s throat
i drove home livid
and slammed my face into my
desk
until my eyes bled .
still wasn’t sure
i told you i loved you last night
and the silence slammed my heart
into my ribs
after i nearly knocked your door down
you came out
and stabbed me in the chest .
i reached in, pulled my heart out,
dropped it at your
feet
food for the rats.
