Walmart Heartbreak
Never date an older boy,
he could rip your
heart in two pieces,
and you would still look
at him with the same
love struck eyes.
I knew something had to be
wrong when he seemed
so distant.
I was stuck on Earth
while he floated in space.
The toy filled isles of
Walmart,
once so innocent,
now the resting place
of my first broken heart.
The isles where
little girls are always begging their parents
for the newest doll, and the old
one always gets forgotten.
To you
I was just an old doll.
In that moment I’d do anything
for his tattooed arm to be wrapped safely around me
and watch smoke whisper out of his mouth.
I’d do anything in the world to
see his crazy brown eyes stare back
at me.
But as time passed
it got easier to tell just
how little he cared about me.
And that I care a little too much.
