can’t you let my heart know
             i don’t need you
                 anymore
i keep telling it to stop beating
              for you
     and start beating for me
but i think it’s taken sides
(maybe i got it broken too many times)

and tell the butterflies in my stomach
     that they’re starving me
all that fluttering puts me off my food
you see - i think they’ve turned on me
                eat eat eating away at my insides

while you’re on it
            could you tell my eyes
       that their tears are wasted
and that there’s no point in looking sad
because in the end - no one cares

i think my body’s turned against me
   and you’re the only one
        that can set it straight
maybe it’s because you know me
better than i know myself
or maybe it just prefers you too me

       either way it doesn’t matter
           you’ll never read this
does anyone actually know what to write in here?
